The Canadian Project - NCFF

The Northern Clergy Families Fund is the major project of the Canadian Mothers' Union. The fund was started in 1974 to help isolated clergy spouses serving in the Northern Dioceses. The original idea of the fund was to send a monetary gift so the spouse could take a holiday. That idea quickly changed when clergy spouses indicated that they needed the money for necessities.

Donations to the Fund come from MU branches, ACW groups, dioceses and individuals. Each gift sent to a clergy spouse is in the amount of $950.00, and she or he is free to use the money for their specific needs.



 

 

The coordinator for the NCFF for the last four years, 2004-2008, was Mary Anne Dicks. During her term of office 61 gifts of $950.00 each was sent to clergy spouses in the Dioceses of Moosonee, Brandon, Keewatin, Saskatchewan, and Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador. The recipients are recommended by their bishop upon the coordinator's request for names. The new coordinator is Joan Titus of Sooke, BC.

The recipients often tell in their thank you letters about the hardships of living in the North (or living in an isolated area) due to weather and the high cost of living as well as other factors. They often also mention how the money was an answer to prayers.
