Foundation Christmas appeal raises $90K

The “Bless Our Priests” Christmas Appeal of The Foundation for the Diocese of Helena has raised nearly $90,000 thus far.
Over one-third of the gifts given through the appeal has been designated for either the Priestly Formation and Development Endowment or the Clergy Senior Status and Security Trust Endowment. Another third was earmarked for use where needs are greatest. And the final third was split between the Apostolic Mission Endowment, the Spiritual Growth and Renewal Endowment or individual parish endowments.
Bishop George Leo Thomas and the Foundation’s Board of Trustees are grateful for the generous support of the diocesan community in building the future of the Church through its gifts to the endowment of the Foundation, noted Foundation Services director Beth Yeakel.
