Endowment Fund News
It is hard to imagine that over a year has passed since the death of Fr. James Thoman, CP, former Retreat Director of St. Paul of the Cross. Known as “Father Jim” by thousands of Passionist friends and benefactors throughout the U.S., his loss was especially and deeply felt here in Detroit when he died on March 17, 2010.
Building on those before him, Fr. Jim left a lasting legacy at St Paul’s that continues as our programs grow and thrive. Knowing that the Retreat Center was celebrating 50 years of service to the Detroit community, it was always Fr. Jim’s vision that a permanent endowment fund be set up to ensure the future of St. Paul of the Cross Passionist Retreat and Conference Center. Henceforth, with his passing last spring, the endowment was established in his memory.
The good news is that the Endowment is off to a great start and will ensure the future of St. Paul’s – but we still need your help. As we remember Fr. Jim on the one year anniversary of his entry into eternal life, please consider making a donation to the Fr. James Thoman, CP, Endowment Fund. I can think of no better way to honor his lasting contribution to the Retreat Center and to his life of service as a Passionist.
