Bishop’s Angels

The Bishop’s Angels support diocesan efforts to advance The Catholic Foundation of West Michigan, its member funds and the ministries, programs and services that CFWM benefits.

How do Bishop’s Angels help CFWM?

Financial donations from Bishop’s Angels assist in:

• Promoting the Catholic Foundation of West Michigan through annual events, mailings, donor and agency reporting and web-based communications.
• Encouraging growth of the member funds by promoting the funds among their constituencies.

Bishop’s Angels may designate their gifts toward a specific member fund within the Catholic Foundation of West Michigan or to be used at the discretion of the Bishop.

Bishop’s Angels receive invitations to attend special events sponsored by CFWM and are recognized for the essential role they play in promoting it. Bishop’s Angels are listed in CFWM materials distributed throughout the diocese, including the Focus newsletter and the annual report.
