A Legacy of Faith.
The Founders Fund was established to support the Catholic Foundation’s beginning and enduring mission—to thrive and faithfully serve the Diocese of Scranton.
The Fund was designed to expand the Foundation’s capacity to serve parishes, schools, and diocesan ministries for years to come.
“My husband, John, and I feel strongly about the importance of the Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of Scranton – especially the potential for it to be a long-term source of funds to support the work of the Diocese in the areas of seminarian formation, social services and other important needs. As a tribute to my parents, Carl & Rose Severini, we decided to make a memorial gift to the Founders’ Fund to honor their commitment to serving those less fortunate, which they did in many ways throughout their lives. The Founders’ Fund was established to get the Foundation up and running, and to support operating needs over its early years. My mom and dad would be pleased to know that their legacy of compassion for others will continue by helping to build the Foundation, ensuring a lasting source of funds for good works far into the future.”
