Diocesan Museum Window Restoration
The Diocesan Museum is located in the historic former diocesan Chancery building, which was erected in 1950. While many aspects of the building need updating, the 77 windows in particular need repaired, recalked, and covered with UV protective film, all to help ensure that the valuable artifacts in the museum are preserved for future generations.
Saint Anne Communities
Saint Anne Communities is a non-profit, Senior Living Community that has served the Fort Wayne community since 1967. We are located in Fort Wayne and also serve the Our Lady of Victory Missionary Sisters & Huntington area. We take pride in offering the highest level of quality health care in a Christ-centered environment.
Secretariat for Stewardship and Development
We are called to bring the Gospel of Christ to everyone and work so that this Gospel permeates our world. Sharing the good news of the Gospel starts with each one of us right where we are in the present. Each of us is called to dedicate ourselves to the building of God’s kingdom. Because so many have responded to this call, the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend is strong and vibrant.
The work of the Secretariat of Stewardship and Development is aimed at fostering a prayerful and generous response to support the work of our Lord throughout our Diocese.
