Clerical Endowment Fund

The Austin Diocesan Council of Catholic Women Clerical Endowment Fund (CEF) Was established in 1948 and is one of the special projects of the Austin DCCW.  the monies that go into this fund come from enrollments, bequests from Estates, special donations and an annual drive in each parish of the Austin Diocese.  Each year in August, our parish sponsors a Clerical Endowment Fund weekend and has a special collection designated for this fund at all masses.

Purpose:
