The US Bishops, when they wrote their pastoral letter on stewardship, Stewardship A Disciples Response, made it clear that our stewardship shouldn’t occur just to help our parishes, but also to the wider community as well. Parishes can do this in many different ways. Making sure parishioners understand their giving to special collections is an act of stewardship, parish days of service in the community, and encouraging intentional giving to charity by parishioners. ICSC members can access ideas on how to successfully do this.
