When Harold Hallock retired as rector at Church of Our Saviour, parishioners sought a way to show their appreciation for Harold and Virginia’s more than 20 years of service (1981 to 2004) to the parish and the community.

And so, by action of the Vestry, the Hallock Endowment Fund was established. The endowment provides a perpetual source of funds because only investment income is spent. The principle remains intact. Since 2004, the Hallock Fund has distributed more than $21,000 in earned income.

In keeping with Harold’s dream of a parish being able to spend a dollar outside the parish for every dollar spent within the parish, the Vestry approved the concept of the Hallock Endowment Fund spending half of its annual earnings within the parish and half for outreach efforts. In recent years, the Fund supported the very popular Stewardship Suppers and has provided for landscaping projects. The Alliance for Interfaith Ministries; Children, Youth and Family Services; the Panama ministry; and the Haven at First & Market have received contributions as part of outreach distribution from the Fund.

The Hallock Endowment Fund Committee, made up of members of the parish, meets annually in Lent to make its expenditure recommendations to the Vestry. The Vestry acts on those requests at its first meeting after Easter.

You can support the fund by making a contribution when you remember the roles Harold and Virginia have played in your life. Baptisms, confirmations, marriages and burials are examples of those times. If you are new to the parish, consider a gift in thanksgiving for the ministry of our priests, David and Mary. These gifts may be made by check to Church of Our Saviour with Hallock Endowment Fund on the memo line or online here.

The Hallock Endowment Fund also is recommended to you as an opportunity for estate planning or other long-term giving.
