Join us in congratulating our two Growing Your Stewardship Scholarship Grant recipients: Rev. William Burns from Blessed Trinity in Ocala and Kori Blowers from St. Joseph in Orlando. 

This grant offers the opportunity to pastors and parish, school and ministry staff/leaders to attend the 2025 International Catholic Stewardship Council (ICSC) Conference.

The ICSC Conference features 80 stewardship-related sessions aimed to provide education and resources for dioceses, parishes, and institutions.

“I desire to gain a better understanding of the stewardship model and how it is implemented in my parish. A great way to start gaining that understanding is to learn how this model is implemented nationally. ICSC offers that.” said Rev. William Burns.

This grant aims to support the professional development of those involved in growing stewardship at their parish, school, or ministry. The grant includes conference registration and a $1,000 travel voucher to go towards hotel and flights.

Kori Blowers said “I hope to utilize what I learn at the conference in the St. Joseph Fall 2025 Offertory Enhancement Initiative, which is focusing on stewardship in the parish, especially time, talent, and treasure.”

We are proud to support Rev. Burns and Kori Blowers as they deepen their knowledge and bring back valuable insights to inspire stewardship in their communities. Their commitment to growing a culture of gratitude, generosity, and engagement reflects the spirit of this scholarship—and the mission of our Church.

Let us keep them in prayer as they prepare for this journey!
