"Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And Behold, I am with you always." -- Matthew 28:19-20a

Catholics in our communities have responded faithfully to Jesus’ call for over 156 years. We have built churches, schools, hospitals, but more importantly, we have built a heritage of faith. As we prepare to reconstitute ourselves as a new parish, we build upon the faith and sacrifice of our ancestors creating hope for the future.

Now there is a new opportunity for you and all parishioners to strengthen our Parish, and the Diocesan Catholic School entrusted to our care, and to ensure that our heritage of faith will continue strongly in the 21st century. The Endowment for the Greater Waterville Catholic Community and the St. John Regional Catholic School Fund are established at the Catholic Foundation of Maine to create a way for all parishioners and friends of our Church to make a lasting legacy that will support our ongoing mission.

All gifts to these important funds are appropriate. Your gift, whether made during your lifetime or through a bequest or other planned gift, will be pooled with all gifts to the Funds. For more information, please contact Rev. Philip A. Tracy at 207-872-2281 or Patricia Long, executive director, The Catholic Foundation of Maine at 207-321-7835.
