Annual St Louis Parish Appeal Letter

We are pleased to announce the formation of the Joseph M. Sorg Foundation, established by a dedicated group of parishioners with the mission of preserving our beloved St. Louis Roman Catholic Church in Buffalo, NY and ensuring its longevity. This 501(c)(3) tax-exempt foundation is named in memory of Rev. Joseph M. Sorg, who served as pastor during the construction of our present Church and is laid to rest in our Church Hall.

Our Purpose:

To preserve St. Louis Church, including ongoing projects and significant restorations such as the stained glass windows and roof maintenance.
To raise public awareness and appreciation for the architectural, cultural, historic, and religious significance of St. Louis Church.
To explore the potential of the Church complex as a community center, facilitating programs that enhance local quality of life.

The Foundation will collaborate with our current Pastor and trustees. When project funds are needed, requests will be submitted to the Foundation, which will evaluate needs and manage contractor compensation.

As an independent entity, the Foundation is not subject to Diocesan assessment, meaning your contributions will go directly to the restoration of St. Louis Church. We commit to full transparency, prioritizing the best interests of our Church.

We are deeply grateful for your generous donations in the past to annual parish appeals, which have enabled both major and minor repairs. We could not have done this without your support. The Joseph M. Sorg Foundation will now oversee this appeal. We encourage you to continue supporting St. Louis Church through the weekly collections.

Ways to Donate:

Electronic donations can be made through our website using PayPal.
Checks can be made out to the Joseph M. Sorg Foundation and mailed to:

Wills, bequests, and gifts are also welcome directly to the Foundation.
