The Pillars Trust Fund annual giving campaign for wrapped up recently and raised over $106,800 from donors. A heartfelt thank you goes out to all who supported the campaign.
The Pillars board of directors directs the funds to support beneficiary organizations carrying out work in the spirit of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, with a special focus on supporting the education of seminarians, youth training, spiritual enrichment and good works.
In , Pillars supported Archbishop Christian Lépine’s Refugee Aid Fund, Benedict Labre House, The Newman Centre, Ville Marie Online and the Lenten Mission to name just a few worthy causes.

Unfortunately, the campaign fell well short of Pillars’ internal fundraising target of $180,000.00. If this shortfall is allowed to continue, many of our beneficiaries may face unfortunate consequences.
Over the next few months, Pillars will be reaching out to existing and potential donors to explore new ways to ensure its campaign successfully continues its longstanding tradition of giving to the English-speaking Catholic community. Please stay tuned.
Although the fundraising campaign is officially over, Pillars accepts donations to the Fund at all times. Pillars also welcomes bequests, which are invested to provide annual income to grow the Fund.
