Foundation Beginnings
In August 2018, Bishop Luis Zarama established THE FOUNDATION of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Raleigh, Inc. in order to more efficiently manage the temporal works of the Church. A volunteer lay Board of Directors has been meeting and organizing since that time to ensure proper fiscal and administrative management. Bishop Zarama and the Board of Directors hired Foundation Executive Director Joe Langenderfer, CFRE in June 2019.
The Foundation serves all ministries of the Diocese of Raleigh which is comprised of 54 eastern counties of North Carolina covering 32,000 square miles.
