About the Foundation
The Catholic Foundation of the Diocese of St. Augustine was created in 1987 to provide a permanent endowment fund to meet the religious, charitable and educational needs of Catholics in the 17-county area of the diocese.
The foundation assists in meeting the long-term needs of the diocese, including funds for expanding existing parishes, establishing new parishes, expanding or establishing centers for religious education and social service programs, expanding or establishing schools, providing an adequate retirement for priests and women religious in the diocese, providing support for the formation of candidates for the priesthood and programs for youth and young adult ministries.
Nearly all parishes, schools and many other ministries in the Diocese of St. Augustine have established permanent endowments. For a complete list of these funds and to learn more about the Catholic Foundation, please see the copy of the 2018-2019 Annual Report below.
