Purpose / Mission
Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart Foundation is a permanent Endowment fund dedicated to establish permanent long-term funding, whereby only interest income is used for spiritual or physical needs of the parish. (Principal may be used only for a parish emergency or disaster.)
Through the Foundation, individuals have an opportunity to give back to God in perpetual manner, a little of what He has given them. Gifts are made during celebrations or the thanksgiving of new life, anniversaries, inheritances honoring the memory of deceased family members or friends … in the form of investments (stocks, securities, etc.), donations of tangible or non-tangible property, or by naming the parish beneficiary, in part or in whole, of life insurance policy proceeds. No gift is too small or too large.
