St. John the Baptist Endowment Funds

Endowment funds sustain our church, school, and cemetery in perpetuity.  The principal is invested, and the interest earned is disbursed on an annual basis, providing a continuous source of income to support our parish for generations to come.

St. John the Baptist currently partners with the Catholic Community Foundation of Minnesota for these six endowment funds:

Church Operations

Provides support for day-to-day needs of the parish including minor repairs, the development of staff, and funds to respond to unexpected needs and special opportunities.

Capital

Provides funds for capital improvements to ensure safety, upgrade facilities, and utilize new technologies for greater efficiency and enhanced service to all who use our campus.

Pastoral Care

Supports the parish’s many outreach ministries to the elderly, homebound, sick, and members of our community in time of need. 

The Pastoral Care Fund was founded with a gift in memory of Julie Hammer.

Cemetery

Supports maintenance and property improvements associated with our parish cemetery, to provide respectful care for the deceased and consolation for their loved ones.

School Operations

Provides support to meet day-to-day needs of the school such as subsidizing teacher salaries to attract and retain highly qualified staff, covering the cost of ongoing maintenance and repairs, and purchasing equipment to keep technology up to date.

The School Operations Endowment was founded with a gift in memory of Joseph K. and Marcia E. Counter.

Tuition Assistance

Provides tuition assistance to families in need who have children enrolled at St. John the Baptist Catholic School.
