	Archbishop Robert J. Carlson's Response Regarding Portland, Maine Donation Archdiocese of St. Louis November 16, 2009 http://www.archstl.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=972&Itemid=1 In June of this year, Archbishop Richard Malone of Portland, ME, sent a letter to all United States bishops asking for financial support. Archbishop Robert J. Carlson approved a donation for $10,000 which was charged to the Special Needs fund. This fund has traditionally been the Archbishop's to be used for discretionary spending--not for normal operations--and is funded by private gifts. Archbishops of St. Louis have made donations in the past to help other dioceses around the world for various causes which the Church regards as moral issues, ranging from disaster relief to pro-life issues.
