Monsignor Edward J. Ryle Fund

Category: Issues Forums

The Monsignor Edward J. Ryle Fund was founded to honor the memory and extend the legacy of Msgr. Ryle, who provided a lifetime of service to the people of Phoenix and the state of Arizona, especially the most vulnerable and the disenfranchised. The Fund’s mission is to continue Msgr. Ryle’s work through stimulating scholarly dialogue around public policy issues affecting the common good in Arizona. As part of its work, the Ryle Fund has established the Faith Leaders seminar series. The seminars permit faith leaders to explore and understand Arizona’s social justice public policy issues through education and collaboration. The Fund also provides community grants, as well as scholarships for faith-based, public-policy studies at Seattle University.
