ABOUT MONSIGNOR RYLE FUND
The Monsignor Edward J. Ryle Fund has been founded to honor the memory and extend the legacy of a remarkable man. The Fund springs from the example of a lifetime of personal and public service to the people of Phoenix and the State of Arizona, especially the most vulnerable and the disenfranchised. Its success will be measured by a growing crescendo of many, if lesser, voices speaking in the public square on behalf of reasoned discourse and social justice.
The Monsignor Edward J. Ryle Fund incorporated under section 501(c) 3 of the Internal Revenue Code.
