The future health and vitality of the Diocese — and the people we serve — will depend on our successful implementation of the vision God has revealed to us.  We have abundant gifts, talents and resources that we must harness and share in new ways to make our vision a reality.

The Foundation’s efforts will result in a sound and sustainable financial platform, reflecting our Catholic faith and virtues and enabling the Diocese to implement the recommendations of the Synod commissions and successfully pursue its most pressing priorities as the 21st century unfolds.  These include:

• Expanding the presence and impact of our Catholic schools across the region;
• Strengthening our outreach ministries to the poor and marginalized through Catholic Charities of Central Florida;
• Starting new parishes and missions and increasing our support for existing parishes;
• Addressing the issue of priestly vocations and increasing the number of viable candidates for the priesthood; and
• Assisting the faithful to grow in intimacy and communion with Jesus Christ through a vision of lifelong Catholic education and faith formation.
