During fiscal year 2025 contributions were made to support intellectual disabilities of $325,200, Pennies for Seminaries which support the education of seminarians to the priesthood of $33,250, the Jim Campbell Scholarship program of $20,800, wheelchair mission of $300, and Gods gift of life of $3,125.Expenses $412,254 · grants $382,375
