What I like about the Steier Group:
Parish and school communities are where people encounter God in sacrament and community, and I feel called to support these communities in their Gospel-focused mission. At the Steier Group, I’ll be able to help these communities grow in both faith and generosity, because stewardship is not just fundraising, it’s an extension of evangelization. Ultimately, my goal is to support the mission of the Church and to create the conditions where more souls can encounter Christ.
