"St. Katharine’s story is a powerful example of how a bequest can transform lives. She saw her wealth as a gift from God, meant to serve a greater purpose. Her example calls each of us to consider how we might use what we have been given to support the causes that align with our faith and values."

Members of our team recently visited the Newman Center at St. Agatha-St. James Parish in University City. They joined Patrick Travers, Newman Director, and Raul Espericueta, Chief Development Officer, for Mass, lunch, and a tour of the vibrant space that supports the spiritual and community life of Catholic students who attend the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University. We’re honored to partner with them through the St. Agatha–St. James Parish Fund at The Catholic Foundation. Support for this fund helps sustain the Parish’s many sacramental ministries, social services, and educational programs — including its Newman Ministry. Representing The Catholic Foundation were Ted Qualli, President and CEO; Garrett Owen, Chief Philanthropy Officer; and Matthew Nienas, Relationship Manager.
