Still not sure what the Stewardship of Treasure Renewal is or why you should make a Sacrificial Giving pledge commitment for 2016.
Faith in Action
Greg Unruh, parishioner at Saint Patrick Catholic Church shared a witness talk at all Masses the weekend of October 28 – 29, 2016 a part of the Stewardship of Treasure Renewal campaign for our parish. He shared his unique story of why he and his wife Amy give and why they believe Stewardship of Treasure Renewal is important.
Watch the Unruh’s story which closes with a call to action, asking parishioners to take time for prayerful discernment of God’s gifts in their life and how they will show gratitude for those gifts in their Stewardship of Treasure renewal.
Living the Stewardship Way of Life
Greg is a lifelong Catholic. He is married to his wife Amy for 30 years. She is a Principal of St. Nicholas Catholic School, Gig Harbor. Greg works is the President of the Franciscan Foundation. The Unruh’s
have three grown children. The oldest was married at Saint Patrick Catholic Church in June 2015.
The Unruh’s oldest daughter was a parishioner at Saint Patrick Catholic Church and they were so moved by the active ministries as well as the hospitality and joy we felt at Mass that they officially registered as parishioners too. Since joining the parish 2 years ago, Greg has had the privilege of sponsoring two candidates through RCIA. One was his son-in-law, and the other a very dear friend who he has known since college days.
Greg’s community involvement includes serving on the boards of Bellarmine Preparatory School, Greater Lakes Mental Health and the Tacoma–Pierce County Economic Development Board.
“Our parish is vibrant and, I believe, a model for the future pastoral structure for many parishes in our region, notes Greg. As a member of the Pastoral Council and a Pastoral Council delegate to the newly formed Faith Formation Commission.
