What will my gift support?
Unless otherwise specified, gifts in honor or memory of an individual are unrestricted and provide essential operating support to Father Ryan.
Honorees or family members of the deceased may also request funds to be directed to an existing restricted fund that holds special meaning. If the family has requested funds to be directed in this manner, your gift will be placed in the appropriate fund.
