More than a quarter century ago, a legacy to benefit the Catholic Church was being built right here in northeastern Wisconsin. Here at the Catholic Foundation, it is our honor to partner with you in leaving your legacy to benefit the Church. The success of the Catholic Foundation is because of friends like you who love the Church and want to see more people discover Jesus in their lives.

More than 25 years ago, Bishop Robert Banks, Donald Long Sr., and Cindi Brawner planted a seed in northeastern Wisconsin.  It was with humble beginnings and deep faith that the seed was sown all those years ago.  Thanks to the generosity of families like yours, we have seen great fruit and brought Jesus to thousands of people. Here’s to another 25 years of prosperity and partnership with generous families like yours!

Rev. Monsignor John Bernard Dewane, a Catholic Foundation board member emeritus, devout pastor, and diocesan administrator, passed away on February 15, 2024, at the age of 89.  His leadership was driven by the Holy Spirit.  He brought Jesus to hundreds through his diocesan work and played an important part in the beginning years of the Catholic Foundation.
