Parish and School Endowments

What are endowment Funds?

Endowment funds are an accumulation of resources that donors choose to maintain intactly and in perpetuity; only the income (interest) from the funds is distributed for designated purposes.  We created endowments to ensure the future of our parish and school.  The endowment principal must remain intact.  As of March 31, 08

Dear Parishioners,

Thank you for your visit to our St. Theresa Business Office web page.  Our parish is an extension of our homes.  It is the physical focal point of our faith.  It is the challenge by which God gives us special graces through the sacraments.  It is the public forum where we gather as a Christian community to give a witness to Jesus.

Our parish gives us so much: the Eucharistic celebration, the initiation of baptism and confirmation, the soothing and strengthening help of penance, the blessing of matrimony, the comfort of the sacrament of the sick, the “belonging” of community, and the security and assurance of knowing we are people of God.

These wonderful benefits come with a responsibility for each of us toward our parish.  We fulfill this obligation by the giving of our time and talents, and by our adequate financial support.  This giving of our time, talents, and treasure to our parish constitutes our stewardship.  God has blessed us greatly.  In gratitude and in faith we as good stewards, return a portion of these blessings to God’s work his church. 

With a sincere heart as your Business Manager I pledge to you my commitment to be sure that we use your contributions within the frame work of the Best Business Practices of the Archdiocese of Chicago.  We take seriously the obligation to give your money to the fund you would like it to go to and to respect your contribution as a sacrifice from you to our Lord Jesus Christ to benefit his church.

In Christ, the Great Steward,

Gail McCusker
