Continuing our mission to serve as
“The Giving Arm of the Diocese”
Thanks to the generosity of donors who support out mission, the Catholic Foundation recently distributed over $127,000 in grant awards to 36 Catholic parishes and organizations throughout the diocese. $111,890 was awarded in parish, mission and program assistance for catechetical programs, faith formation and worship, and an additional $15,500 was granted to Catholic schools in our diocese to strengthen enrollment through tuition assistance.
Grant funding will help provide such things as:
• New Religious Education Materials
• Campus Ministry Opportunities
• Audio-Visual Equipment
• Lay Ministry Training
• Vacation Bible School
• Youth Conference Participation
• High School Newman Club Activities
• Adult Faith Formation Support
• Parish and Formation Retreats
• Sacramental Preparation
• Parish liturgical supplies
In addition to providing parish, mission and program assistance, the Catholic Foundation awarded $48,000 in humanitarian grants. These grants will help homeless shelters, food banks, and medical clinics for the poor, and they are all made possible by the Msgr. Delaney Humanitarian Fund.
