At its August 25, 2016 meeting, the Executive Board approved
14 diocesan Seeds of Hope Grant awards, totaling $24,625, to 11 parishes
or organizations. Funded projects include a nutrition program for
senior citizens, "From Guns to Art" project, youth mentoring, Laundry
Love project, and a community garden.
Seeds of Hope grants support the development or expansion of
social justice ministries sponsored by diocesan congregations and
organizations. Seeds of Hope grants were the heart of our diocese's
Second Century "Feed My Sheep" campaign conducted fourteen years ago.
Funds from this campaign produce income that is available on an annual
basis for social justice ministries proposed by parishes, diocesan
departments and commissions.
Over the next few weeks, the Diocesan eNews will feature stories of ministry funded by 2015 diocesan Seeds of Hope Grants.
