The St. Noel Endowment Fund continues to grow through prudent investment, financial gifts and distributions received from the parishioner-pledged “Rooted in Faith” campaign. Growth of the fund has enabled increased financial support for St. Noel’s parish ministries.
The “50-Wills” campaign is an opportunity to remember St. Noel in your estate plan through various types of legacy gifts. Your gift can help grow the Fund so that the earnings continue to provide funding for St. Noel Parish programs. As a non-profit corporation, the St. Noel Endowment Fund has 100% control over investments and disbursements.
