Stewardship in our day-to-day lives
The International Catholic Stewardship Council provides monthly reflections on how we can foster an environment in which stewardship is understood, accepted and practiced throughout our daily lives. Each month, the ICSC spotlights a saint that is particularly inspiring. This month we learn about Saint Teresa of Los Andes.

90 n' 9
90 n' 9 is a Praise and Worship band associated with the music ministry at St. Mary's Church in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. Our purpose is to communicate the love of Christ through contemporary Christian music. We are proudly Catholic and Canadian! Part of St. Mary's Youth Ministry and with strong ties to St. Joseph's high school in Barrie we are part of the large and vibrant Catholic community in the area. St. Mary's music and youth ministries are under the direction of Shannon Barks and are supported by Fr. Larry Léger-Pastor.
