Fund the Need
Coming Soon…
From time to time, our school and its faculty have special needs — for class projects, classrooms, or student safety and success. Our parish, too, may face unexpected short-term projects that need financial support.
We’ll soon maintain a running list of specific needs you can support with a purpose-driven gift. Check back!
