Stewardship
Stewardship at HNOJ
At Holy Name of Jesus Parish, we learn to follow Jesus and inspire each other to live as disciples of Christ. God has blessed each of us with unique talents, skills, and strengths. When we practice stewardship through prayer, participation, and generosity, we strengthen our parish and reflect Christ to the world.
You can engage in stewardship by:
- Praying for your fellow parishioners and for our parish community to be united in worship
- Participating in the mission and ministries of the Church through volunteer service
- Giving generously of your financial gifts to support parish life
Your support helps parishioners and the wider community:
- Know the heart of Christ
- See the face of Christ
- Be the hands of Christ
Stewardship is a way of life. We strive to put God first in all things, to follow where the Lord leads, and to respond with grateful hearts. We receive God’s gifts gratefully, cultivate them responsibly, share them lovingly with others, and return them with increase to the Lord.
A Praiseworthy Offering

You are invited to make a stewardship commitment for the 2026 calendar year.
Ian and Jane Share Their Stewardship Participation
In this year’s video, meet a wonderful Holy Name of Jesus family who discovered just that. One small “yes” led to another: from joining the choir, to volunteering at school, to finding deep faith and friendships within our parish community.
“Holy Name of Jesus quickly became our second home. We give because this is where we are, and we see every day the difference it makes. Finding stewardship at Holy Name of Jesus has changed our lives — our faith is deeper, our family more connected, and our hearts full of gratitude.”
We invite you to take a few minutes to watch their beautiful story and prayerfully consider how God may be calling you to make your own Praiseworthy Offering this year.

Know the Heart of Christ
Thank you for the many ways you support our parish through your prayers, your presence at Mass, and your generous giving. Because of you, Holy Name of Jesus remains a vibrant, faith-filled community.
This year alone, over 530 youth participated in faith formation, and more than 200 received Sacraments, grace-filled milestones made possible by your support. From Extreme Faith Camp to the Steubenville Conference, our young people encountered Christ in powerful ways.
We were also blessed to host a powerful Lenten mission with Dr. Edward Sri, whose teaching helped to deepen our prayer lives and understanding of the Catholic faith. Our men’s and women’s ministries, small groups, and parish retreats continue to thrive, drawing people closer to Christ and one another.
We are truly grateful for you. Thank you for being such a vital part of our parish family.
Be the Hands of Christ
“For just as a body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.” James 2:26
At Holy Name of Jesus, each day the truth comes alive through the generosity and love of our parish family. Whether it’s bringing Communion to the homebound, offering Sunday hospitality, serving at Mass, going on a mission to Mexico, or supporting moms and babies in need, your faith-in-action truly makes a difference.
We are grateful for our youth, especially senior high students, who recently served on a local mission project with Homeward Bound, a nonprofit that supports children and adults living with disabilities, by replacing landscaping at one of their residences.
Through every act of kindness, you share the love of Christ and make His presence known. Thank you for being the Hands of Christ in our community and beyond.
See the Face of Christ
“Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.” Matthew 7:24-25
Just like the wise man, we are blessed to have a church that stands strong year after year – built on the faith, generosity, and prayer of our community.
Being good stewards of God’s house is more than keeping the lights on or fixing what is broken. It is about giving the very best of ourselves – our time, our gifts, and our resources – so our parish can grow, welcome, and serve in the name of Christ. Every hour volunteered, every prayer offered, and every dollar shared helps care for God’s house and for one another.
This is what makes your giving a Praiseworthy Offering. We are deeply grateful for our volunteers and dedicated staff, whose love and service keep our parish a safe, welcoming, and faith-filled home for all.
