Couple to Head Up Bishop's Charitable Assistance Fund Campaign

The Most Reverend Peter A. Libasci has appointed Tom and Devin Farrelly of Rye, as co-chairs of the 2015 Bishop’s Charitable Assistance Fund campaign, according to a press statement.

After successfully co-chairing the 2014 campaign, Bishop Libasci invited them to lead this year’s effort to raise funds to assist those most in need in New Hampshire.

“Mr. and Mrs. Farrelly are a committed Catholic couple who have shown exceptional leadership in bringing the Bishop’s Charitable Assistance Fund to a new level of success, raising a record $216,120 last year,” said Bishop Libasci. “I am pleased they have agreed to volunteer again this year. Their experience will be valuable as we reach out to others to help us achieve our mission.”

Tom Farrelly said, “My wife Devin and I are deeply honored by Bishop Libasci’s invitation to serve again as co-chairs. We look forward to working with our volunteer committee and raising the resources needed to enable Bishop Libasci to help people in our communities.”

The Bishop’s Charitable Assistance Fund is a not-for-profit organization of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Manchester, New Hampshire. The Fund enables the Bishop of Manchester, through a volunteer lay board of directors, to make grants to not-for-profit organizations without regard to religious affiliation, for projects that help people in New Hampshire meet their basic needs. The Fund gives preference to tax-exempt organizations that assist with basic needs of food, clothing, shelter, heat and other necessities. The grants go to organizations in New Hampshire whose mission and operations are consistent with the mission of the Roman Catholic Church.
