Annunciation Hope and Healing Fund

In response to the mass shooting at the Church of the Annunciation during the all-school Mass on August 27, 2025, the Catholic Community Foundation of Minnesota (CCF) has established the Annunciation Hope and Healing Fund.

The Annunciation Hope and Healing Fund is a charitable fund at CCF that will provide financial support to the Church of the Annunciation for the needs of the church and school, as well as support to those affected by the tragedy.

“We know there will be an outpouring of support for the Annunciation community,” says CCF President Anne Cullen Miller. “And that comes with a heavy administrative burden. By creating the Annunciation Hope and Healing Fund, CCF takes on the work of processing and acknowledging gifts, freeing parish staff to focus on what matters most right now: its mission and ministries.”

CCF will receive, process, and steward gifts to the fund without an administrative fee. Then, we’ll disburse larger grants to the Church of the Annunciation to use for the purpose of supporting its community. Grants may also be distributed to support broader needs in the Catholic community that arise in connection with or as a result of this tragedy, as determined by the CCF Board of Directors in collaboration with Annunciation Church and School leadership.
