A Vital Purpose

The purpose of Catholic parishes, schools, and ministries:

  • Share the Gospel message of Jesus Christ
  • Celebrate the Sacraments
  • Educate and form our youth
  • Serve the most vulnerable among us
  • Walk with people; journey with them as they strive to be missionary disciples that radiate Christ in all aspects of their life.

We Need to Dream Big!

Too often in conversations about how to address the challenges facing the Church today, the question of “how do we fund this work” is where big and bold ideas fall apart and go nowhere.

Imagine a day when “lack of financial resources” is never the reason for falling short in addressing the challenges facing parishes, schools, and ministries as they strive to live out their purpose.

The Catholic Community Foundation will…

  • Inspire charitable giving
  • Connect donors to the Catholic organizations they love
  • Transform our local communities through the Church

Our Vision

The missions of our Catholic parishes, schools, ministries, and organizations are central to realizing a world that God intended from the beginning. We dream of a day when finances are always available to carry out these missions and ultimately, the growth of our Catholic faith that leads more to radiate Christ in all aspects of their lives.

Through stewardship of the many blessings and gifts entrusted by God, the Catholic Community Foundation will strive to connect donors to the Catholic organizations they love and provide a Catholic ministry that transforms our local communities through the work of parishes, schools, and ministries.
