Living the Promise Grants
The Catholic Foundation was established August 17, 2000, to provide a solid financial future for the advancement of the ministries offered through the diocese and for other religious, charitable and educational purposes. A Board of Directors administers the Foundation.
The existing endowments have been established with the initial seed money from Bishop Kinney’s Living the Promise capital campaign held 2000-2002.
