Clerical Endowment Fund

The K.J.Z.T. Clerical Endowment Fund was established in 1966 with the Memorial Burse for Monsignor I.J. Valenta, who had been the State Chaplain of the K.J.Z.T. until his death.

The C.E.F. is a fund consisting of voluntary donations from our societies, members, and others. The purpose of the fund is to benefit those studying for the priesthood.  The total amount of the donations plus interest is presented to the Archbishop of the San Antonio Archdiocese and the Bishops of the Dioceses as indicated by the donors.

Our State Chaplain offers Masses for both the donors and enrollees of the C.E.F. A gift of an Annual or Perpetual Enrollment in the Clerical Endowment Fund, instead of a material gift, expresses thoughtfulness to a friend or loved one on a special occasion or in a time of need.
