The Legacy Endowment for Catholic Spartans was established for the purpose of securing gifts to financially support future ministries and
program at St. John Church and Student Center. Through this endowment, we can continue campus ministry programs like retreats and alternative spring breaks as well as provide the financial resources to prepare future generations of Catholic Spartans to become 21st century leaders.
The Fr. John (Jake) P. Folio Endowment Fund commemorates his years of leadership and vision in service to the St. John and Michigan State University community. The heart of Fr. Jake’s philosophy is the fundamental principle that every generation of Catholic students should acquire an ethical and moral foundation in Catholic thought, tradition and values. In honor of
Fr. Jake, we invite you to help us advance his philosophy and build on his years of ministry by providing financial support to the endowment fund named in his honor. Fr. Jake has touched countless lives and this Legacy Endowment offers you the opportunity to honoring all of his years service.
