Endowment Fund

Statement of Purpose | June 2017
The St. Philip the Apostle Parish Endowment Account was established by the Pastor, Endowment Committee, and Finance Council for the purpose of maintaining our two historic churches into perpetuity and, secondarily, to build and maintain the financial health and strength of the parish. Endowment account monies would be used for parish facility restoration as needed, maintenance, and could be used as a source of funds in the event of catastrophic occurrences. The investment policy statement sets forth an investment structure for managing account assets.

​More Information
  • The Endowment Account is managed by Christian Brothers Investment Services of San Francisco for the Benefit of St. Philip & St. Teresa Parish
  • The goal of this account is to maintain our two historic churches in perpetuity and to ensure the financial health of our parish.
  • Our intent is to use Endowment Earnings as needed to maintain the structures and only use the principal balance in severe circumstances.
  • The Endowment Account provides an opportunity for parishioners, visitors, benefactors, community members and friends to contribute to the long-term financial health of our historic buildings.
  • Our parish is a tax-exempt religious organization; therefore, contributions to the endowment account are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
  • Contributions to the Endowment Account can be planned gifts, legacy planning, estate planning, gifting of certain non-cash assets, a named beneficiary for a retirement account or gifting on a current basis.
  • The Endowment Account provides a financial resource for this parish that will last forever.

Leave A Legacy

“You can’t take it with you” does not mean “you can’t leave it behind as you wish.” For more information, please call the parish office and arrange to speak with our Pastor, or email him directly here.
