Catholic Education                                                                                                       $4,000,000

Since the establishment of the Diocese in 1950,  we gave been partnering with parents, parishes  and the community to help provide a quality  Catholic education for our children, Today’s Catholic  schools follow a rigorous standards-based curriculum  that addresses the moral, spiritual, academic, artistic, social and physical development of the students.

Our campaign will grow the existing Catholic Schools Endowment by $4 million. This
will allow many more families who desire a Catholic school education for their children 
but need additional assistance to attend one of our Catholic schools. In particular, we will be able to help immigrant families who are new to our diocese and who wish to provide their children with a Catholic school education. We acknowledge that this fund must grow substantially in the future and are grateful to other Catholic education foundations, which will assist in this goal.
