The Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha Roman Catholic Church met the organization’s matching challenge, and received $50,000 to renovate its facility to seat 100 more people and make the church more energy efficient.
The second grant is a matching challenge to The University of Texas at Tyler Catholic Campus Community to raise $83,000. The funds will help pay for a facility that can be used by Catholic students at both universities, according to the release.
