Vincent Alfano Fund

A Commitment to the Future of Our Church

The Vincent Alfano Fund will make a tangible contribution to the development of church leaders, providing opportunities for them to gain practical experience in helping congregations reach out to diverse communities and, in turn, learn fresh ways to respond to them with God’s love.

The new fund will contribute financial support to student ministers undertaking internships with congregations in Toronto Conference. During their program, interns will focus on connecting with the culturally and ethnically diverse communities surrounding their congregations. By creating opportunities to intentionally study and practice the mission dimension of ministry, the fund will support both church and leadership development.

The focus on community engagement outside congregational membership, will enliven and renew our church with the ideas, spiritual strength and commitment to serve the emerging constituencies of our ever changing society.

20 Years of Visionary Leadership

The Vincent Alfano Fund was established in recognition of Vince’s lifelong commitment to the development of our church’s next generation of leadership. During his 20 year tenure as Council’s Executive Director, Vince exercised his creativity to enable the United Church within Toronto Conference to act upon its faith-based compassion and care for the world.

The congregational ministries, social ministries, and youth ministries of the church within Toronto Conference have benefitted greatly from Vince’s leadership.
