BISHOP'S ANGELS
One Gift, Twice the Impact
For more than 25 years, the Bishop’s Angels have stood at the heart of the Foundation’s mission. Through their faith-filled generosity, they inspire others to give, cultivate a spirit of stewardship, and help ensure the Church can respond to the ongoing needs of our community.
Since 2020, Bishop’s Angels have also supported the Providential Care Fund, which fuels our Love & Charity grant program. Because of their commitment, evangelization is strengthened, Catholic schools thrive, families receive hope in times of hardship, and local ministries continue to flourish.

The Impact of the Bishop's Angels
Thanks to the generous support of the Bishop’s Angels, the Catholic Foundation awarded $116,250 in 2025 Love & Charity grants to 12 organizations—more than doubling the impact since the grant program began.
The impact of Love & Charity extends far beyond financial support. It nurtures faith, fosters opportunity, and ensures that the Catholic community in West Michigan continues to flourish for generations to come.
