Furthering the Roman Catholic Religion within the State of Texas Since 1947

Request Meeting

From the President

Fellow board member Kirk Pfeffer coined a phrase when he described the Scanlan Foundation’s funding as “God’s Money.” After months of prayer and carefully reviewing materials sent to us each spring and fall, we meet twice a year to approve grant funds for Roman Catholic 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and dioceses across Texas. It makes our day to hear updates on the fruit that God’s Money is bearing.

In order to bear fruit, we must remain in Him. John 15:5 says, “I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.” As you continue to do great work for the Church, I invite you to join me in prayer to receive the Holy Spirit’s guidance so that we can bear an abundance of the Vine Grower’s fruit and get multitudes of souls to Heaven.

Much prayer,

Larry W. Massey Jr.
President
