The St. Mary Catholic Faith Community Endowment Fund is dedicated to perpetually sustain our Parish and School mission.  It serves to provide enduring financial assistance to advance our Catholic Faith through various avenues such as the parish school, Catholic formation classes, and educational programs for both youth and adults.  Through planned giving donors are invited to create their own legacy while contributing to the ongoing growth and spiritual enrichment of our vibrant community.  Unless specifically instructed otherwise in writing by the donor, legacy gifts will be utilized to strengthen the resources of our Endowment fund and advance its mission.

The Endowment Fund is separate from ordinary parish funds, and it was created to support the mission of St. Mary.  The investment policy allows for a portion of the Fund’s earnings to be used to support the operating budget on an annual basis.  As the Fund continues to grow, the yearly support to the operating budget increases.
