 The Influence of a Catholic School Education
The Catholic Education Foundation accomplishes an important mission in our Diocese by providing financial assistance to students in our Catholic schools whose families cannot afford the cost of tuition.
The influence of a Catholic school education is significant. Your gift this year to the Catholic Education Foundation is particularly crucial. Many families in our Catholic schools have felt the effects of the financial crisis. Please take a few moments to meet Ed. He is a family man living in our diocese who has been influenced by his Catholic school education. When Ed was a young child, his family received assistance so that he could continue his education in a Catholic school.
