As a thanksgiving sacrifice to God for His many blessings during those first 100 years of our existence, we have established this fund, The Human Life and Development Fund. Our purpose is twofold: First, to reach out to those among us who are needy—the poor, hungry, homeless and jobless, and second, to champion the sanctity of every human life from the moment of conception through all its stages to natural death. We invite those institutions and agencies within our Diocese who share our convictions about the dignity and sanctity of human life to apply for financial grants to aid them in their work. Preference and eligibility in awarding grants will be determined by the Human Life and Development Fund Committee.
