What is GPS?
GPS stands for Growing Parish Stewardship Committee. While the committee formed to help grow stewardship within our parish, GPS actually includes every member of the parish. We are called to “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you”. Matthew 28:19. Our goal is to complete this mission by helping our parish grow their stewardship giving of time, talent, and treasure.
What’s Next for our Parish?
We are rapidly outgrowing our worship, fellowship, classroom and parking spaces — thank God for this growth! It’s time to embark on Phase 2 of the Holy Apostles building project. Everyone can help! Donate to the building fund through the link above and learn about other ways to get involved below.
