Religious Education Program Grants

The parishes, schools, and ministries serving the Diocese of Yakima are eligible to apply for funding for various needs of their religious education programs that they would not otherwise be able to fulfill.

Student of Stanford University

"Faith has given me the strength to chase the impossible and make it possible. It has healed the broken in me. Faith is what has made me who I am, a fearless, caring, and courageous follower of God. Throughout my difficult times, every time I thought I had failed or had no better alternative, something always told me to try again. And that was faith. Through your support, our program has been able to change my life and the lives of many other students.  My desire is that students across the diocese will have the same opportunity to grow in faith that I had."
