The Hispanics in attendance at our Diocesan Multi-Cultural Encuentro in May were from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. The Diocese offers bi-lingual or Spanish Masses in ten locations, and Spanish Catholic ministries are growing. Convinced that cultural diversity will have a positive impact on our society and our Church, the Diocese of Owensboro is making every effort to extend a welcoming hand to the Hispanics in our midst. The Foundation provides financial services for ministries and institutions throughout the diocese. The mission of the Foundation is to help ministries build endowment dollars.
Endowments provide a permanent income for ministry.
There are no charges or fees on the accounts that use the Foundation. Every parish in the diocese has seed money in their endowment. The Catholic Foundation's investment returns have consistently exceeded industry standards. All accounts undergo a professional auditing review each year. Some of those accounts are still paying out on charitable gift annuities and charitable trusts.
