Upcoming Event
The Finance Council has the responsibility of planning, providing for, and supervising the financial affairs and the physical properties of the parish. It is concerned with stewardship, the budget, church support, and the effective utilization, care and maintenance of the parish properties.
The Resurrection Stewardship Committee’s primary goals are to continue urging stewardship as a “way of life” in the parish, and to educate parishioners on the concept of stewardship. The committee meets the third Wednesday of the month at the Parish Office.
The Social Justice Committee is active in a variety of programs which promote peace, justice, and charity, both within and outside of Resurrection Parish. After discussion of relevant issues, activities are planned to both educate and actively involve the entire parish community. The committee has a two-pronged focus: direct service to meet people’s needs, and advocacy to change the systems which cause injustice and oppression. Meetings are on the third Monday of each month.
Tithing grants are Resurrection's way of being good stewards as a parish. Every month, the parish gives $1,000 dollars from tithing to a variety of local, national, and global charities. These organizations are recommended and sponsored by a parishioner. To sponsor a charity, please review the Tithing Grant Policy and fill out and submit the Tithing Grant Application by emailing it to the Business Manager at dbq058bm@dbqarch.org.
