Stewardship

About Stewardship

Stewardship is the faithful and generous management of all that God has entrusted to us — our time, talent, and treasure. The Diocese of Niagara supports parishes with tools, training, and resources to build a culture of generosity.

Planned Giving

Leaving a charitable gift in your Will is one of the most meaningful ways to support the ministries, outreach programs, and good works of your parish and our diocese — while taking advantage of Canada’s generous charitable tax incentives. Learn More
