What does discipleship and stewardship ask of active parish stewards? It expects:
• an active witness to the Catholic faith by our daily teaching and living, making discipleship a way of life;
• the entire family’s participation at Mass every Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation with the clear majority at St. Ambrose;
• active involvement in the various parish ministries, each according to his or her time and talents;
• a respect for and cooperation with those who actually provide Catholic education – the priests, deacons, parishioners, and all school personnel – and their policies;
• each family to live as disciples of Our Lord Jesus Christ by giving of their time and talent and striving to fulfill the Biblical command to tithe by donating the suggested amount of at least 8% of their income to their parish, as adopted by our Fourth Diocesan Synod; and
• the full participation of the child, according to age and ability, to practice stewardship as well.

As parents, we ask St. Ambrose Parish to help us provide our child(ren) with a Catholic education. We understand and agree that our child(ren) will be taught the teachings of the Catholic Church in their fullness, even if we are living a way of life that is contrary to those teachings. We also understand that if we do not live in accord with Catholic Church teaching, we are expected to discuss with the pastor of our Catholic parish ways in which we could. We further accept a commitment to the stewardship way of life as practiced in our diocese and in our parish. We pledge our full cooperation with the school and parish to prepare our child(ren) to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. We will make every effort to supervise our child(ren)’s commitment to this agreement.
