THE HERRITAGE FUND

If in some way St. Elizabeth’s has had a positive impact on your life, would you consider funding a gift to the Parish?

As good stewards of God’s gift of treasure from you, our parish leadership plans and saves for the future by setting aside reserves to cover maintenance and repairs and for unanticipated drops in Sunday collections. But like other community organizations, St. Elizabeth’s has needs that require funding beyond what your weekly donation can support.

To provide a vehicle for this, we have established The Heritage Fund.

“Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have,
for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.”

Hebrews 13:16

A Restricted Fund

As a church we proclaim and live our Catholic faith as did our ancestors since Pentecost. Our HERITAGE or inheritance of the faith is ours to use and live. But we also have a responsibility to preserve it and hand it down to the next generation of believers.

The Heritage Fund at St. Elizabeth’s will help us meet that responsibility. The funding it receives, often as gifts in honor of those who taught us the faith, will help to keep the campus of St. Elizabeth a proud beacon in the City of Linden. 100% of your donation goes into this fund. There is no Archdiocesan Assessment or tax taken out.

The fund will maintain a list of projects and things that need funding beyond the Operating Budget. This year’s list has five projects:

• The repaving of the School Parking Lot and small Rectory Lot (both on Hussa).

• Replacement windows for the Church Basement, Rectory and Parish House.
• Replacement windows for the Church Basement, Rectory and Parish House.
• Replace the slate and railings on the front steps of the Church.
• Replace the large sump pump in the Church basement used to pump ground water and water from the boiler out of the basement.
• Seasonal Flowers and Plants for the Building’s outside entrances.

For more information about The Heritage Fund or to make a donation please contact Fr. Ed or Dennis in the Rectory Office.
