MAKE A DONATION
In the midst of COVID-19, we understand that our parishes are struggling in many ways. This Diocesan Parish Online Giving Fund is a small part of our efforts to make supporting our Diocesan parishes during this time a little easier.
If you'd like to give to your parish, please click the red button below. Be sure to select your designated parish when you submit the donation. Once received, we will cut a check to the chosen entity. Please note: once the designated parish receives the donation, we cannot provide any further direction to where your donation should be used.
For a number of years, CFSWIA has provided financial assistance via grant awards to dozens of parishes, schools, and other not for profit organizations that fall within our Catholic values. Since the inception of our grant awards, CFSWIA has awarded over $200,000!
