The Endowment Fund is set up to solely benefit St Elizabeth Ann Seton, so that it can continue its mission and ministry beyond your lifetime. Endowment funds strengthen a church parish so that it may continue to empower its ministry even in difficult economic times. Under normal circumstances, only the interest earnings are distributed to support the property and parishioners of the parish. Annual interest from a permanent endowment fund can be a lifeline in lean economic times; in lucrative times funds can aid in growth and expansion efforts. It is always a lasting tribute and legacy to those who graciously and prayerfully invested in our parish.
