Native American Dioceses Sustainability Grants
Resolution text
Resolved, That $41,375 of the total $667,000 Long-term Development Grants (budget line 402) for the four principal dioceses engaged in Native American ministry (Alaska, Navajoland, North Dakota, and South Dakota), be distributed and released as follows:
Diocese of South Dakota for the construction of a new modular multi-purpose building at the Church of Our Most Merciful Savior on the Santee Mission, Santee, Nebraska. | $41,375 |
Explanation
In consultation with the Missioner for Indigenous Ministries, the bishops of the dioceses noted above, are in agreement and are submitting this allocation request. The bishops wish to receive these funds now to enable construction before harsh weather sets in during the autumn months. Earlier requests for $270,000 were approved by Executive Council in February 2019 as FIN-024; and by Executive Committee on June 26, 2019 for $355,625. This additional request, if approved, leaves a remaining balance of zero.
