Established in January 1997, the Diocese of Venice Timothy Fund was established to provide support for the education of seminarians studying to be priests and pastors of tomorrow.  The Timothy Fund is a Permanently Restricted Endowment.

While some may feel that they are only one person and wonder what difference your gift or prayer can really make.  Be assured that working together, empowered by the Spirit, we can make a difference. 

While we have come to know the joy that comes from sharing with the less fortunate, please give thought and consideration to the joy when we are able to create a legacy and provide priests to the Diocese for future generations.  You will share in the blessings of al the lives that they touch because of a generous gift which you made possible.
