For over 50 years, St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church has been blessed with great success!  In the early years, success was driven by parishioners motivated to ensure Parish growth equal to that of the Catholic population in east Wichita. Then, in the late 1960's, the Diocese of Wichita challenged all parishes to move toward operating solely upon parishioner commitments to participate in Stewardship of Time, Talent and Treasure.  A seemingly overwhelming task, St. Thomas Aquinas Parish was one of the first to rise to the challenge and it was not long before the Parish became "stewardship-based" - establishing, maintaining and budgeting based, only upon, parishioners living stewardship as a way of life.

For the past several years, St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic church has been able to effectively operate and fund over 60 Parish Apostolate groups which serve nearly 1600 families, all thanks to parishioners participating in Stewardship of Time, Talent and Treasure. Now, as parishioners work together, striving to fulfill the Parish mission to become ever more One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic, parishioners living stewardship as a way of life is just as, if not more, important than ever before!

Each November, parishioners of the Parish are asked to participate in Stewardship Renewal. All are asked to revisit the true meaning of stewardship, to re-familiarize themselves with Stewardship of Time, Talent and Treasure and the many ways in which to participate in stewardship at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church.  After doing so, all parishioners are asked to please engage in family conversation, pray about stewardship participation and then complete a Stewardship Renewal Form in commitment of how each will serve Him for the following year.
