As a result of the transfer of operations of the Cathedral Towers, now Parish Grove, to National Church Residences last year, the Cathedral of St. Philip was able to establish the Cathedral Towers Fund as a designated fund within the Cathedral Endowment. The Cathedral Towers Fund will continue to support the Parish Grove community and support services and housing for low-income seniors in the broader community.
Over the past year, a nine-member committee of parishioners and Canon Julia Mitchener have met monthly with service providers to discern more about the community’s needs and resources. In the coming months, the committee will further define their interests, approach, and application guidelines with the intent to begin grant making in 2026. While the Cathedral Towers Fund will provide substantial support in the community, the Committee is also immensely grateful to the wonderful residents of Parish Grove, the NCR team, and the many wonderful volunteers like St. Anne’s Guild and Chaplain Dianne Otwell who are enriching the lives of our cherished neighbors at Parish Grove. As always, the Cathedral Towers Fund also seeks to build community. While engaging with our community partners by volunteering and serving with them, the Cathedral also contributes monetarily to ensure stability for our partners’ ongoing efforts to serve our neighbors.
