The Catholic Foundation of Northwest Florida
Dear Parishioners,
As Bishop of the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee, I am very pleased to announce the recipients for our Foundation’s 2014 Grant Cycle. This year, 32 grants were awarded by the committee for a total sum of $482,250. These grants, listed below, will play a significant role in helping our church fulfill its mission, both at the diocesan and parish level.
I am very grateful to all the parishioners throughout the diocese who supported the “Sharing the Vision ~ Growing In Faith” campaign a few years back. Your generosity and foresight made the vision of endowments supporting great ministry a reality. I can only imagine the impact this resource will have in the future as the funds continue to grow and more individuals and families come forward to create their own living legacy within the Foundation.
God bless.
Most Reverend Gregory L. Parkes
