Is this final episode of the series, Father Andrew explains the connection between stewardship and evangelization, Both of these support the core Catholic directives to 1) know your faith; 2) live your faith; and 3) share your faith. As committed parishioners come to know their faith better, a commitment to stewardship enables them to live their faith. Then, in living their faith, they become disciples to others in sharing their faith. That outcome is evangelization. Finally, Father Andrew answers the question: "What might my life look like if I take the fist steps of stewardship?
