ICSCStewardship Moments
Interested in convenient, copy-and-paste bulletin stewardship announcements? The International Catholic Stewardship Council (ICSC), in conjunction with the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops (USCCB), offers a weekly resource to foster stewardship in your parish. These reflections are provided so that your parish office staff can completely reprint the newsletters or place “Stewardship Moments,” based on that week’s Liturgical readings, in your bulletin.
Click here and scroll down to see the latest installment of their Monthly eBulletin in English and Spanish. You will find Stewardship Moments at the end of the eBulletin.

Dave Ramsey'sFinancial Peace University (FPU)
Financial challenges are among the leading causes of divorce in our country. And, as faith communities, we are called to walk with others in their earthly struggles. One successful tool used across the country is Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University (FPU). The nine-week FPU program can be tailored for parish groups or can be used by individual parishioners. Consider offering financial management classes that not only teach people ways to achieve financial freedom but also promote a lifelong commitment to financially support their spiritual home.

StrengthsFinder Workshops
What better way to encourage active participation in your ministries than helping others understand their strengths and leading them in identifying their personal call to serve? In response to the Archdiocese of New Orleans Synod goal to “nurture awareness within families of God’s call to holiness and the need to put our gifts at the service of the community,” the Catholic Community Foundation has developed programming that utilizes Gallup’s Clifton StrengthsFinder. When combined with the teachings of Catholic spiritual masters, this online assessment provides participants the opportunity to grow in self-knowledge and self-awareness, and to learn more about spiritual discernment by identifying the key strengths, talents, and qualities that affect how they react to relationships and responsibilities.
Led by Dr. Susie Veters, a certified Clifton StrengthsFinder coach, workshops are offered periodically to the general public. Dr. Veters is also available to develop individualized Clifton StrengthsFinder discernment programs for parish staff, ministry departments, and Catholic schools. Check our upcoming events for future workshops.
