Four Pillars

Parish Life

The Catholic Foundation strengthens the heartbeat of our diocese — our parishes. We nurture the relationships that unite our faith community, ensuring every parish has the support and resources needed to thrive in its ministry, outreach, and worship.

Catholic Education

We believe that forming hearts and minds in faith transforms our world. Through the generosity of donors, we sustain scholarships, parish schools, and educational initiatives that make Catholic education a lasting hallmark of excellence across our diocese.

Social Services

Guided by Christ’s call to serve, we invest in ministries that uplift those in greatest need. From food and housing assistance to counseling and outreach, we seek to bring hope and dignity to every corner of our community.

Vocations

A vibrant Church depends on faithful leaders. The Foundation is honored to help prepare our seminarians and religious for lives of service — fostering awareness, education, and encouragement for those discerning their call to the priesthood or religious life.
