We’re very grateful and appreciative for the outstanding support, love, nurturing, guidance and role modeling that Dallas-area Catholic teachers provide our local students.

We’re pleased to continue as the financial broadcast sponsor of each televised Sunday Mass, including those in May and June to be concelebrated by Dallas Bishop Edward Burns and Auxiliary Bishop Greg Kelly on FOX4 at 11 a.m. and replayed at noon on KDFI, Ch 27 or 7, depending upon your video service provider.

Rising to the challenge, a Catholic Foundation employee, Sylvia Windham, and her family participated in a massive food drive with their Canyon Creek Home Owner Association (HOA) in Richardson to feed North Texans. Last weekend, Sylvia, the Bilingual Gift Processing Coordinator, and her neighbors collected 14,000 pounds of food and the CC HOA donated $10,000 in cash for a local non-profit in Richardson called Network of Community Ministries (Network), a spring 2019 recipient of a Catholic Foundation grant.

President and CEO Matt Kramer shares how The Catholic Foundation donors and staff have risen to the challenge of the shelter-in-place era.

We mailed our newsletter, The Good Word, last month before the shelter in place guidelines dominated headlines.

Years ago, The Catholic Foundation chose to recognize outstanding people who had gone far beyond the call to service in giving time and energy for the welfare of our brothers and sisters in Christ. Since its inception, The Catholic Foundation Award has claimed the distinction of being the preeminent and most recognized annual award given to an outstanding member of the Dallas Catholic community.

We're pleased to continue as broadcast sponsor of all April Sunday's 11 a.m. televised Mass on Dallas/Fort Worth's FOX4 that's replayed at noon on KDFI Ch. 27 or 7 (check your video service provider for which channel is yours).

Thanks to our donors past and present, The Catholic Foundation is in a position to respond to the needs of the Catholic Diocese of Dallas, our faith community and the community-at-large. Our work has not been interrupted by social distancing, and we remain committed to serving our donors and the Dallas-area community with compassion in a way that helps us remain connected as a community. We’re working safely from home, and remain available for you as always.

The Catholic Foundation awarded $1,186,250 in grants to 28 Dallas-area Catholic churches and schools and non-profit community organizations as part of its spring grants distribution. Approved prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the grants are funded through The Catholic Foundation’s unrestricted Philanthropy Fund and other legacy field of interest funds.

As we shelter in place as a society, our president and CEO Matt Kramer offers good news about millions of dollars in grants that are being provided to Dallas-area Catholic churches and schools and other non-profit organizations.
