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.
