“John and Barbara Jacquel were a really integral part of Our Lady of Mercy Church. They were part of the initial group that began small Christian communities in the Diocese of Erie.”
Building Hope For The Future
2023 was a remarkable year of progress for the Catholic Foundation! Sixteen new endowments were established, over one million dollars raised for Catholic causes in our broad thirteen county region, and well over $400,000 granted to strengthen parishes, Catholic schools and ministries in the Diocese of Erie. Your engagement in our mission is bringing this unique ministry into the forefront of our Catholic community with promise for the future, and we thank you sincerely.
In the pages of our 2023 Community Impact Report, we hope you’ll enjoy reading about the impact of grant funding, peace of mind donors find in planning a lasting legacy of faith, and opportunities for donors to support what means the most to them.
As the only community foundation in northwest Pennsylvania guided by Catholic values we invite you to rejoice in this good news. Together we are building hope for the next generation of our Catholic community.
