Moving Faith into Action Our members move their faith into action in local communities ... They give of themselves so their community will improve and the people living there will have better lives. Our Hearts and Hands matching funds program is instrumental in helping where the need is greatest. $150,000 $120,000 Throughout the year our courts held 66 Hearts and Hands events donating $139,336 for local causes. Courts raised $97,974 and NCSF matched $41,362. $90,000 These funds help to support Catholic education, Catholic parishes, local fire departments, Hospice centers and individuals in need. $60,000 $30,000 0 Our members also visit hospitals and nursing homes, collect towels to be donated during Lent, collect used eyeglasses for the needy, make rosaries for missionaries, and are an integral part of their parish community. NCSF members continue to make a difference. Financial Peace of Mind Partnering with Catholic families to achieve financial peace of mind ... ... it is a responsibility that the Society takes very seriously. In 2012 our members received over $9.6 million in benefits through their life insurance and annuity certificate ownership. The chart below shows what percentage of benefit dollars was distributed in each category. Whether it is retirement payments from an annuity or certificate loans going towards college tuition, Society members can feel true comfort in knowing that NCSF is there in their time of need.
