Cultivating our Congregation

The Office of the Canon Vicar: the heart and soul of the Cathedral Congregation

Our goal is to raise a $1 million endowment that will generate income to directly support the work of our Congregation.

We are called to secure the future of the Congregation’s pastoral leadership. As we know from the Covid pandemic and disruptive market forces, any clerical position at the Cathedral could be jeopardized. The goal of this endowment is to protect the Congregation’s Vicar position and its office for generations to come.

Protect, Secure, Advance

Make your even more generous gift—above your 2023 Gracious Giving pledge—to protect, secure, and advance the Office of the Canon Vicar for the next 100 years.

Your gift will be matched

Make your gift by June 30, 2023, and a group of generous friends will “seed” your efforts with a matching gift. This is a great way to double your impact for the future of our Congregation.

By giving before June 30, 2023, your gift’s impact will be doubled thanks to a match donated by a generous group of supporters. Your special gift to the endowment will enable the Vicar’s Office to continue its mission of feeding Jesus’ sheep with spiritual nourishment, inspiration, and love.

If you have any questions about this campaign, including how to set up a multi-year gift, please email [email protected] or call (202) 537-2200. Thank you for your generosity!

Endowment funds will be invested and drawn in accordance with Cathedral investment policies, as overseen by Cathedral and PECF governance. This is a gift to endowment to be treated as principal in perpetuity. If at any point in the future the use as stated above becomes obsolete, inappropriate, or impracticable, the gift may be used for purposes as close to the original intent as is reasonably possible to forward the Cathedral’s mission as appropriate at that time.
