Thanks to your generous support we are able to extend assistance to families seeking a Catholic education for their children. Each family has a unique story of faith, commitment, need, and often special circumstances that make them all worthy of assistance. Our continued success is dependent upon your generous gift and can change a child’s life!

The Annual Appeal is a vital source of income, a resource that is fundamental to the school’s yearly effort to maintain a balanced budget while adding value to our educational programs. A gift to the Annual Appeal helps to bridge the gap between tuition income and the actual cost of educating a child. The gap between tuition expenses is about $2,000 per student. We want to keep tuition affordable for all students, and over 40% of our families receive financial aid.
