Why Give?
It is often
said that some of the best presents come in small packages.
That’s certainly true of St. Edward School; it’s a wonderful
gift to our community, but it’s small… smaller than it
should be – and you can help change that.
We have a
great product to provide: motivated and high-achieving
students, dedicated teachers, great parental involvement, a
strong sense of community and school spirit, a fabulous
working arrangement with McCormick Catholic Academy at St.
Mary’s and with all the neighboring Catholic parishes, and
an enduring commitment to that Catholic Faith taught and
preserved by the Church since the time of the apostles. Our
only real weakness is not having the opportunity to share
ourselves with enough students – and that’s truly a shame,
considering the quality of our educational program. With
your help, however, we can attract more children and
families to our school.
Some of our
current school families struggle to pay tuition, and there
are many other families who would love to be able to provide
a Catholic education for their children – but finances
prevent this. That’s why we have established our Tuition
Scholarship & Endowment Program; money should never be the
reason a deserving child is unable to attend our school.
Your contribution
and assistance will not only help create a legacy that will
live on in the students able to attend St. Edward’s because
of you; you will also be ensuring that, when you see Jesus
face to face, you’ll be able to tell Him that you did your
part in obeying His command to help spread the Good News
throughout the earth (cf. Matt. 28: 19-20).
Thank you for
your kind consideration of these giving opportunities, and
may God bless you and your loved ones now and forever.
Sincerely,
Rev. Joseph
M. Esper
