Advancing the Mission Grant Awarded to IPRF
The Catholic Foundation for
the Diocese of Green Bay has approved an Advancing the Mission
Lifelong Catechesis Endowment grant to St. Mary and St. Joseph
Inter-Parish Religious Formation in the amount of $2500.00 to be used
toward U.S. Catechism for Adults, Readers Journal for
U.S.C.C.A., and Catechist Toolbox books for catechist
certification courses. This will enable us to put these three books in
each catechist’s hands, and implement the new diocesan certification
guidelines. Thanks to all who supported Advancing the Mission. Your
generosity helped make this grant possible.
