News - Bishop Placido Rodriguez Endowment Fund

We have hit the 75 percentage mark on our $50,000 goal towards the Bishop Placido Rodriguez Seminarian Education Fund. In this final month we are in need of $9,000 in new gifts to the fund.

Thanks to a generous challenge grant from Catholic Church Extension Society, gifts to the Bishop Placido Rodriguez Seminarian Education Fund will be matched if made before December 31, 2015.

As Bishop Placido Rodriguez plans for his retirement he hopes to leave a lasting gift with the Diocese of Lubbock. Thanks to the Catholic Foundation an endowment fund was established in his name. Bishop Rodriguez has asked all gifts made to this endowment be restricted to seminarian education for seminarians for the Diocese of Lubbock.
