Bishop William E. Power Family Charitable Foundation: The late Bishop William E. Power of the Diocese
of Antigonish recognized the importance of the laity in strengthening Christian faith in today's modern world.
Inspired by the goals of Vatican II, Bishop Power held a deep belief in the need to prepare the laity to bring their
Christian faith to their homes, workplaces and cultural lives. Two years after his death in 2003, his work to
support and develop the laity is continuing through the Bishop William E. Power Family Charitable Foundation.
Bishop Power established the foundation in 2001, assisted by the generosity of his family. Its four
purposes are assisting the poor through projects in areas such as employment and housing; supporting efforts to
develop the laity for their Christian role in family life and the worlds of business, culture and politics; providing
assistance to students enrolled in Catholic Studies at the university level; and aiding the missionary activities of
the Catholic Church.
Non-profit groups and Catholic Studies students may apply for funding according to the foundation's
funding criteria. The foundation will have $20,000 available annually for projects. For further information or
an application form, please contact the Bishop William E. Power Family Charitable Foundation, PO Box 5000,
