“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”

John 14:6

“Our young people need someone to look up to and see an example on how to become a saint for their generation.  Thanks to this Catholic Foundation grant, the school and religious education students see how they can encounter Jesus through the Eucharist and how they can become the disciples they are meant to be.”

Fr. Michael Warden, Pastor at St. Mary’s Catholic School and Parish in Greenville

“Serving on the Catholic Foundation Board of Directors has been my most rewarding volunteer experience. I have been truly honored to serve as Board President. During my nine years, we have been able to support the incredible work done by the Church and helped many people in need thanks to the generosity of many families throughout
our Diocese.”

Lee Kummer, Emeritus President, Catholic Foundation Board of Directors
