Margaret “Mickey” Paluch established the Paluch Family Foundation in 1995. Mickey's personal lifelong commitment to the Church was inspiring and remarkable. Please take a few moments to read Mickey's biography. The Paluch family and all of those who work with the Paluch Family Foundation and the J.S. Paluch Company feel her presence while carrying on her vision of faith and service. The Paluch Family Foundation continues Mickey's legacy by honoring and supporting three areas of service in the Catholic Church: Liturgy, Stewardship, and Vocations and awarding grants to causes established or selected by the honorees that reflect the ideals of the foundation.

Please continue to hold Mickey and all those whose lives she touched, and continues to touch, in your prayers.
