Youth Confirmed in Christ
Dear Friends of the Catholic Foundation: You have made 2016 a wonderful year for many in the Diocese of Pueblo! We are pleased to report that 36 organizations and Catholic Schools received a total of $94,300 in grant awards. The awards covered a wide range of parish and mission programs, with an emphasis on helping youth, and we are proud to say that approximately 98% of all donations from our appeals during the year went directly to fund these grants. We also took advantage of new opportunities to promote charitable giving and manage entrusted resources, such as helping a parish to establish a permanent endowment fund—all of which is an integral part of our mission. We are also excited to announce that 10 organizations received over $20,000 in direct assistance from the Msgr. Delaney Humanitarian Fund. The Humanitarian Fund has been in place for just over a year and already it has greatly expanded the Catholic Foundation’s outreach. What a blessing it has been to welcome these new grantees! During the year I visited a number of these recipients in person, and it is a real joy to see what impact even a small gift can make. Whether it is providing for the most basic of needs, or helping to bring a family back to the Church, the Humanitarian Fund allows the Catholic Foundation to humbly extend a hand to those who reach out.
