It’s Time for the Catholic Foundation's 5th Annual Steward of the Year Contest!

The Catholic Foundation is in search of exceptional individuals who have demonstrated a Stewardship way of life at their parish, in ministry, or at our Catholic schools. Nominations are being accepted!

Who will be the 2022 Steward of the Year?

Pastors, diocesan directors, and Catholic school leaders are invited to nominate a volunteer, ministry leader, or educator who generously helped those in need and made a difference this year.

The 2022 Steward of the Year Contest categories are:

The Steward of the Year will be recognized during the 16th Annual Foundation of Faith Event: Building the Kingdom on Thursday, September 22, 2022, on the Catholic Foundation’s website and social media, and in the Rio Grande Catholic.

The respective parish, ministry, or Catholic school will win a $1,000 award. Category winners receive $50 each. In addition, the Steward of the Year will receive a gift card to a restaurant for a nice evening out.

If you know of anyone who lives an extraordinary life of Stewardship through ordinary acts of everyday compassion, kindness, and commitment, please tell your pastor, church administrator, or Catholic school leaders.
