The purpose of the Communal First Saturdays Fund is to assist the Communal First Saturdays, Inc. fulfill its mission.
At Fatima, Our Lady said, “If you do what I tell you, many souls will be saved, there will be peace.” Our Lady made known 2 special requests to bring this about. The 1st request has been fulfilled. The 2nd special request, namely, the First Saturdays, remains to be fulfilled.
The Communal First Saturdays provides a way of fulfilling Our Lady of Fatima’s request for the First Saturdays. The Communal First Saturdays apostolate helps to schedule in the parish and lead all four practices requested by Our Lady for the purpose of making reparation to her Immaculate Heart, which is primarily reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The First Saturdays in the communal form is a way of making it easier for each person to fulfill all of the practices of the First Saturdays and for a larger number of people to do so. Further, there is a greater power to our prayer and reparation when we join in prayer together publicly. The communal form also makes it more possible to give visible witness that Our Lord and Our Lady’s request for the First Saturdays is being fulfilled.
The mission of the Communal First Saturdays apostolate is to propagate, establish, and sustain the Communal First Saturdays Liturgy and devotion, as described in The Communal First Saturdays book, in Catholic parishes, shrines, and other venues as a way of bringing about
the salvation of souls and world peace.

Cross Catholic Outreach was founded in 2001 and is located in Boca Raton, Florida. Our mission is to serve the poorest of the poor worldwide. We are the first Catholic international ministry to receive canonical status and official approval by the Pontifical Council Cor Unum.
Last year, we provided nearly $230 million in grants-in-aid and goods distributed to the poor in about 40 countries – for food, water, orphans, housing, education, medical, self-help, shipping and disaster relief. We deliver aid through dioceses, parishes and Catholic missionaries, cost-effectively helping the poor break the cycle of poverty, while advancing Catholic evangelization.
Rather than create new institutions to distribute aid, we support existing ministries and churches already serving the poor. In addition to being the most cost-effective way of helping the poor, empowering these ministries allows us to support the Church’s spiritual mission and its important position of leadership in poor communities.
We consider every gift we receive as a precious resource from God. We direct every donation to its intended project, provide honest and accurate reports to our donors, and keep overhead cost to an industry low of about five percent. We handle funds with utmost integrity, and hold our mission partners in the field to the same high standards, by requiring them to document their costs and the impact of their outreach.

While the goal of every true evangelizer is not to raise funds but rather to win hearts, friends of the Church’s initiatives that support life, marriage and family have worked with the National Catholic Community Foundation to establish an effective support vehicle for this work, the Nazareth Initiatives Fund.
Why that name?
Throughout history, we see that the family is where life is most sacred, and that every family is influenced by its environment, where it lives, who its friends and neighbors are, what are the surroundings that create its memories. For the Holy Family, Jesus, Mary and Joseph, that history and that place was Nazareth. It is where Mary and Joseph watched over Jesus and where He grew in wisdom, age and grace before God and man. For 30 years, Nazareth was everything for Jesus, it was His home, it took care of Him.
One etymology of the word Nazareth is that it is a place that “watches over” life, takes care of it. Likewise, every disciple of Jesus must “watch over” Him, grow closer to Him and bring others to Him as well. As disciples, we must be like Nazareth, the place where Jesus becomes visible to the world, and the structure that allows Him to bring salvation to the world. “Nazareth” is every disciple’s home town and every disciple’s vocation as well. That is why the Nazareth Initiatives Fund helps make discipleship possible, particularly as regards life and families, and has Jesus’ home town as the model for its initiatives.

This fund has been established in the name of Frank and Alberta Radencic and is known as the Radencic Family Fund. It is through the hard work and generosity of my parents that this fund has been made possible. My parents left a legacy and example of giving to support others. They did it with their time, their talent and their treasure. Their support came in monetary form and in the time and assistance they gave to their church, their family and friends, to Catholic educational institutions, and Catholic Charities. In like manner, this Fund is designated to help efforts to improve and sustain Catholic Education, to support efforts to assist working poor women seeking to raise themselves out of poverty and into self-sufficiency and self-esteem, and efforts to care for poor children through orphanages, foster care, adoption, education and health care.

“God blessed our family with our daughter Mary Coppa Coffey for just over two years. What an incredible blessing she was and continues to be for us. Many have told us that in her short life, Mary helped bring them back to greater prayer and closeness to God than some do in a lifetime. With our Fund in her memory at NCCF, we hope to help families attend the Regina Academies which are committed to renewing Catholic classical education, and provide assistance to the Cardiac Care floor (2B and CICU) at AI DuPont Hospital in Wilmington, DE. At DuPont, our 2B and CICU nurses and doctors who cared for Mary as if she were their own daughter, became part of our family. We will forever be grateful.”
