ICSC Catholic Stewardship Moments
and e-Bulletin
The International Catholic Stewardship Council (ICSC) offers a variety of resources to foster stewardship in your parish. One of their most popular resources is a monthly eBulletin that includes articles designed to foster a culture of generosity. The newsletter also includes a section called Stewardship Moments , which presents weekly bulletin reflections based on that week’s Liturgical readings. ICSC provides these resources so that parish office staff can place them in bulletins or offer as a complete reprint.

Seeds of Faith with Dr. Tom Neal
In partnership with Dr. Tom Neal and WLAE-TV, the Catholic Community Foundation has launched Seeds of Faith, a video and blog initiative aimed at helping people realize with what gifts God has entrusted them and how these gifts can bring about change in our Church and the world.

In episode one, Dr. Tom Neal explores the importance of knowing who you are as a Catholic in order to understand not only how you are supposed to live and act but also how your gifts can help you participate in the life of the Church.
