Saint Sebastian Parish Foundation
The St. Sebastian Parish Foundation would like to thank the many generous parishioners who have included St. Sebastian in their giving plans. Through their generosity, on a daily basis, we are able to provide a beautiful church, superior school, inviting meeting spaces, and most importantly, support our parish families. Planning is so important and it is never too soon to start.
Are you considering including St. Sebastian in your plans, but have questions on how? We invite you to read below to discover How To Build A Foundation.
Past
The Parish Foundation was established thirty-five years ago by a few parishioners in order to ensure the longevity of our parish. Over the years, the foundation has been built with gifts from many generous parishioners.
Present
The Foundation Board of Directors has developed a sound structure and successful investment policy which has allowed over $5.5 million in disbursements to date. These disbursements have enabled the church facilities to be built, repaired and renovated as needed. In order to continue to maintain the church, these funds must continually be replenished.
Future
The members of the foundation are asking you to consider joining the other parishioners who have generously given in the past by making a contribution. There are numerous ways in which you can help build our foundation.
The foundation funds are separated into two categories: unrestricted and restricted.
Unrestricted funds can be used for various purposes. A contribution can be made using a variety of assets (cash and stock being among the most popular). These assets are invested and grow over time.
Restricted funds are established for a specific purpose. You can name a fund after your family for a specific interest you have enjoyed or would like to see improved, such as but not limited to: church maintenance, supporting the St. Sebastian school, music in the church, parish grounds maintenance, youth ministry, bereavement ministry, religious education.
Many parish families have already established a fund in their name and continue to contribute assets into it. Some have even designated their fund in their wills.
