St. Francis Xavier Home Missions Grant 2008 Applications
The home mission grant was established in
the name of our patron saint, St. Francis Xavier. The Fund is made up on monies collected over
and above our parishes’ United Catholic Appeal goal that the parishes directed to home missions.
It is a grant where the proceeds are allocated each year to home mission parishes and schools. A
home mission parish or school is one that is experiencing poverty or faces emergency needs that
they cannot meet on their own and are vital to the mission of the Church.
The funds are
allocated to the various home mission parishes and schools through this application process. The
applications are reviewed by a committee of priests and PLCs drawn from the parishes who
contribute to the home mission fund, who then make grant recommendations to the Archbishop.
Please provide the answers to the questions on the application and respond via email to
