Stewards of Hope: Sharing our Time, Talent and Treasure

We are proud of our WFMP theme for this 2025 conference entitled: "Stewards of Hope: Sharing our Time, Talent and Treasure."

Being 'Stewards of Hope' is a way of life. It is a way of bringing God into the centre of our daily life. The roots of stewardship can be found in our biblical tradition which reveals our relationship to God and giver of all gifts. To be a steward means that we are not owners of these gifts but, rather, grateful caretakers. As servants, we are accountable for our use of these gifts. Our resources must be used to reach out to others, and build God's kingdom of love, justice and peace.

As we gather together as 'Stewards of Hope', we are called to give generously of our time, talent, and treasure, and to be joyfully engaged in discipleship in our school communities and wider community.

"As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace." I Peter 4:10

Time, talent, and treasure: these are the gifts that each of us has freely received and are called to give generously and responsibly. This frees us to view life as a precious gift from a loving God and in turn experience the joyful serenity that comes with being stewards of hope.

Time

To be good stewards of our time implies that we learn to discover God's special transforming grace in our daily lives. It is a precious gift from God which calls us to action in service to God and our neighbour.

A gift to be shared

Talent

To be good stewards of our talents is to discover and grow in our own giftedness. These are the gifts, skills and abilities that God has freely given us. Our uniqueness in these calls us to nurture them, not just for ourselves, but for God and others.

Abilities to be developed

Treasure

The Church teaches us that our material wealth — money, possessions, and other tangible goods are to be shared generously with those in need.

Resources to be shared

Gathering as educational pilgrims from across the province, let us embrace a spirit of hope that inspires us, as disciples of Christ, to unite as one faith community. May this great opportunity help us be grateful for the gifts of time, talent and treasure entrusted to us by God. As grateful caretakers of these gifts may we journey together as 'Stewards of Hope'.
