The Advisory Council of The Catholic Foundation is a valuable asset that helps to further the Foundation's mission and goals. Composed of individuals who are recognized for their contributions to the Catholic community and members of the professional community, such as attorneys, accountants, and financial experts, the Advisory Council serves to increase the visibility and reputation of The Catholic Foundation in the community.

The Ireland Funds WineGeese Society celebrates the spirit of the Wild Geese, the Irish who left their homes to bring their culture and their stories to the world. The Society is a testament to the strength and resilience of the Irish people, and their contributions to the world. Maurice Healy's book 'Stay me with Flagons' speaks to the philosophy of the Society, that friendship and friendship of the highest order can be found in wine, food and art of Irish provenance. The Society is a celebration of these things, and a reminder that no matter where we come from, we can find connection and joy in the things that unite us.

“What glass can engender so much kindly charity, so many acts of benevolence, so many comforting words of friendship as the glass that has been crowned by Bordeaux or Burgundy or Champagne? So give me wine. Let my meals still be occasions of good-fellowship, where pleasant conservation will help good digestion to wait on appetite and health on both. May the gleam of a glass of Claret still attract my tired eye and may I never drink unworthily; may I always remember that the gift which I am enjoying is not given to all; may I be prompted to help the less fortunate and to give thanks to the Giver of all good things for this, the most friendly of His gifts. Come, fill the glass. Your good health!”
