Linda and Richard Smith with Very Rev. Philip Landry
Preacher Man Fund
By supporting the effort to build a digital guestbook, we hope to expand St. Louis Cathedral’s network of benefactors. Giving through the Catholic Community Foundation affords us the opportunity to provide our treasured icon with state-of-the-art technology that reaches our community and beyond.

Madeline LeBlanc Cottrell
The LeBlanc Memorial Donor Advised Fund
When I set up my Donor Advised Fund with the Catholic Community Foundation, it made financial sense; however, giving through the foundation means much more. I give to organizations that speak to me, fulfill the Church’s teachings, and honor the legacies of my mother and late husband. I feel connected to the Catholic community when I answer His call to touch the hearts and souls of others.

Fr. G. Amaldoss with parishioners John Beroular, Debbie Ipock, and Melinda Boudreaux
The Little Church in the Woods
Our founding pastor established St. Joachim Church as a place for families to gather and worship God. After his passing, we came together to renew our faith community in his original vision—vibrant and alive. The Catholic Community Foundation’s stewardship and development support has helped our “Little Church in the Woods” be a light along the bayou, dispelling darkness and leading others to Christ.

Judy and Stan Salathe
The Stan and Judy Salathe Fund
In understanding the importance of pre-planning in our lives, we decided to form a Donor Advised Fund at the Catholic Community Foundation. The Catholic community in New Orleans is our lifeline, and through it our faith is strengthened. By making gifts through our fund to support the young men at Notre Dame Seminary on their journeys to become priests, we hope to sustain our community for future generations.

Very Rev. Thomas M. Condon, OP, Prior Provincial, and Very Rev. David G. Caron, OP, D.Min.
Southern Dominican Province, USA
As Dominicans, the Order of Preachers, we realize that evangelization is urgent. In setting up the Province’s general portfolio with the Catholic Community Foundation (CCF), we are able to spread the gospel with the confidence that our operating funds are well managed. Our relationship with and trust in CCF allows us to continue our ministry and make an impact in our Church and city.
