Monsignor Siefer’s affinity for this parish community and the DuBois region grew exponentially during his 32-year tenure as pastor of Saint Catherine Parish, the longest serving pastor in the history of the parish. With a desire to support the future of the Catholic community he calls home, he established The Reverend Monsignor Richard R. Siefer Endowment to benefit faith formation and evangelization activities in DuBois.
Sister Benita Repasky, late in her religious life, felt she had a calling to minister to the poor in the Shenango Valley. More than 35 years later, the Prince of Peace Center in Farrell that she founded has grown tremendously. In 2018 the Board of Directors at Prince of Peace Center created an endowment in her name.
It’s wonderful to imagine the number of students’ lives Fr. Joseph Gregorek touched during his long career as a college professor. Now, as he is planning his Catholic legacy, Fr. Joe is ensuring that the breadth of his life’s impact will expand in perpetuity through designated endowments in the Catholic Foundation.
Catholic Foundation Legacy Society members were honored at a recent gathering of donors, board members, staff, and friends of the Foundation.
