Gen of Faith 2

For over 150 years, the Diocese of Brooklyn has embraced and celebrated the diversity of its communities, families, and faithful. Generations of Catholics have been raised in our tight-knit neighborhoods, celebrating their Catholic faith at our many parishes, and building our church for the future. We have been richly blessed. With those blessings comes the responsibility to share with future generations all that we have received. Generations of Faith, the capital campaign for the Diocese of Brooklyn and Catholic Foundation for Brooklyn and Queens, launched in April 2015 with the goal of $80 million. We have raised more than $120 million to date!
Impact of Generations of Faith
We are blessed with beautiful churches, where the Eucharist is celebrated daily. Embracing our mission to grow ever more perfectly into a community of praise, worship, and witness, Generations of Faith recognizes the central role of parishes in the day to day life of the Church. The campaign will allocate the largest portion of the campaign goal - $40 million - directly for parish needs.
The Diocese fulfills the Bishop’s promise to his senior priests through the St. John Vianney Fund and the Good Shepherd Fund. These two charitable trusts offer financial assistance for the medical and housing expenses of our sick and elderly priests – providing a comfortable and healthy life through their senior years. The campaign will allocate $30 million to the St. John Vianney and Good Shepherd Fund, to ensure that our current and future senior priests receive adequate care during their senior years
Through a comprehensive youth ministry approach that has proven successful in other Dioceses, the initiative provides on-site support to parishes through funding salaries of youth ministers, and grants for ongoing resources and professional development. With an additional investment of $10 million over the next five years, the program can expand to parishes across the Diocese by 2020.
