“Leading a life of stewardship encourages one to return a grateful share of all they have to God in recognition of His many blessings.”
It is with deep sadness we say farewell to Mimi Ariens, the wife of Mike Ariens one of our founding members of the Catholic Foundation Board of Directors, and 2nd Board President from 2003 – 2006. Mimi and Mike spent a lifetime committed to leading a stewardship way of life.

Shortly after, a group from Xavier Catholic School in Appleton was formed to attend this year’s conference.
