Endowment Giving
Gifts to the Monsignor Beahan Education Endowment Fund demonstrate a lasting commitment to the mission of Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School. An endowment is an investment fund that allows a portion of the annual return on investment to be used for annual or capital purposes.
Once the endowment fund reaches $1,000,000, we would be able to withdraw about $50,000 each year for annual or capital purposes. Our goal is to reach this amount over the next 10 years, in time for our Centennial Celebration in 2035. We invite you to consider how you can help us achieve this goal. As of November 30, 2024, the balance of the Monsignor Beahan Endowment Fund is $114,536.46.
The Monsignor Beahan Endowment Fund grows when donors make specific contributions to this fund. This might include “in lieu of flowers” donations upon a passing, a planned gift from an estate, a specific fundraising initiative, or simply a direct donation from a donor. You can support the fund anytime at olsorrows.com/donate by choosing the Endowment Fund under Designation. For any gifts by check, please make checks payable to Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School with the memo Msgr. Beahan Educational Endowment Fund.
Monsignor Thomas P. Beahan became the fourth pastor of Our Lady of Sorrows Parish in 1943. During his 28 years as pastor, he emphasized the importance of Catholic education and helped expand the school and parish to serve more saints in the making. We honor him with our contributions.
Supporting the Monsignor Beahan Education Endowment Fund will allow us to make consistent withdrawals on invested capital and leave a lasting legacy for current and future saints.
