Chair:
The Stewardship and Development Planning Commission (SDC), in concert with the St. Joseph Finance Council, oversees the wise and careful use of parish resources by: promoting Christian stewardship as a way of life in our Catholic Community helping parishioners to discern and organize their gifts for building up of the Catholic Community planning educational activities that instruct our members throughout the year in the Church's teachings of stewardship promoting ties between our Catholic Community and the greater Harrison County Community
Groups which fall under the guidance of the SDC Team are:
Each parish of the Catholic Community has its own Building and Grounds Committee. This Committee oversees the general maintenance and necessary repairs and upkeep of parish buildings and grounds. They themselves are not responsible for completing the work, but they do bring their technical knowledge and experience to the care of our physical resources. Meetings are held as necessary.
