    Introduction

    The Stella Charitable Foundation, (The “Foundation”) was incorporated under the Society Act of Alberta on June 10, 2016. The Foundation was created by the Knights of Columbus Council 6488 (St Gerard’s parish) from the proceeds of an estate bequeath of Brother Mario Stella, who passed away on February 10, 2013.

    Constitutionally, the primary objective of the SCF will follow the compass of the Knights of Columbus (Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism) and through charitable works, uphold, strengthen and preserve Catholicism and the spirit of Christianity.

    Individual works of the Foundation will  adhere to the overarching themes of serving the practical needs of the church and the community it serves, sustaining the vibrancy of a strong Catholic community,  catholic education, and support to those chosen to pursue a religious way of life.

    The Foundation currently provides monetary support categorically as follows:

    Parishioner support

    Upon referral from our pastor and Pastoral assistant, provides assistance to members of St. Gerard’s parish who find themselves in financial need.
     
    Parish Programs

    Provides assistance to support the programs and activities of the church.

    Scholarships

    In concert with Bishop Grandin High School, provides academic scholarships to High School students.

    Gabriel’s Child

    Provides funeral assistance to families of still born babies.

    Other

    The Foundation regularly reviews its outreach and will look to provide assistance that follows the compass of the Knights of Columbus and the Constitution of the Foundation.
