Re:                   Application for Urban and Hispanic Subsidy Grants

Attached you will find the 2008 - 2009 application materials.  This year’s deadline due date is February 15, 2008.

If you are currently receiving Urban and Hispanic Subsidy funds, please return the Mid-Year Evaluation Form in order to continue receiving funds and retain eligibility for the 2007-2008 funding year.

Note:

Special preference will be given to those applications which propose developing new rather than existing ministry within the Urban and Cultural Communities and which demonstrate collaboration by or among parishes within the same or neighboring Pastoral Planning Groups or which demonstrate Ecumenical or Interfaith collaboration.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us
