In financial terms, an endowment is an investment fund set up for the donation of money or property with the stipulation that the fund be invested and the principal remains intact. The purpose of this being that the donation then has a greater impact over a long period of time due to compounding interest. The interest earned on the principal of the Parish Endowment will then assist the parish in maintaining and improving the superior quality of the parish\u2019s many and varied ministries in service to God and God\u2019s people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Please know that any donation \u2013 large or small \u2013 is very much appreciated.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Questions?
