Why Should We Become Stewards?

To have a church for prayer and educational, cultural, and spiritual growth

To meet our parishioners' needs

To maintain our facilities

To ensure our church for generations

To support all of the wonderful programs and ministries listed in this bulletin

To have a voice in electing our church leaders

Your annual stewardship commitment will help sustain our parish and contribute towards its growth. If you like what St. John's does in our community, and want to ensure that future generations of our families will always have a place of worship to call their home in the years ahead, please support us by becoming a Steward.

If you have questions or are unsure of your stewardship status, please call the church office - 248-569-3405. Thank you!
