The Catholic Foundation of South Louisiana is pleased to announce its inaugural Mother Teresa Women’s Giving Circle. The Catholic Women’s Giving Circle is a new initiative dedicated to bringing together a group of women to learn about the needs in our diocese and community, and to raise awareness and funds for philanthropic giving. Designed as a giving circle, this group will leverage a pooled fund to have greater philanthropic impact on the organizations they select.

The Catholic Women’s Giving Circle brings together Catholic women from diverse backgrounds with one common goal: to bring about change through the power of grants that transform lives and build the body of Christ. There are many options for joining the Mother Teresa Women’s Giving Circle at a variety of different giving levels. All giving levels can be viewed online or by reaching out to one of our steering committee members.

To kick off the Mother Teresa Women’s Giving Circle, the Catholic Foundation will host a Mass with Bishop Fabre on Saturday, March 16th at St. Thomas Aquinas in Thibodaux, followed by a brunch at Nicholls. As part of the kick off brunch, we invite any women interested to gather to learn about organizations and their needs, and decide together which projects to fund. There will also be opportunities to share ideas, serve with one another and, of course, plenty of time to socialize.

“The Mother Teresa Women’s Giving Circle is an initiative that we are excited to launch for our diocese. Having the input from women across our diocese to come together to learn and give back to our church and local community will bring great energy to the diocese. I am eager to watch this group flourish and look forward to celebrating their efforts at our upcoming mass,” said Bishop Shelton Fabre.
