~ National Day of Giving ~ February 1 and 2, 2022 ~ THANK YOU!! ~

Many Gifts, One Nation
A Day of Giving to Catholic Schools

We are so very grateful for our MATCHING donor this year! They agreed to match anything we receive up to $5,000! We are SO grateful for our donors and the support we receive. We are going to use the funds collected to support our teachers with monetary gifts to be given at an awards ceremony this fall. We can't think of a better way to use what God has provided than to invest in our dedicated and faithful teachers.
THANK YOU! God is good!

- ~ Why Catholic Education Matters ~
  
  Catholic School students learn that God is present and active in their lives and in the world. They learn to recognize the “footprints of God” in their daily experiences, especially in the midst of life’s challenges.
  
  Catholic schools promote self-discipline through clarity of moral vision that is based on the Gospel. Students are challenged to be Christ-like in word and action. They are asked to examine their choices and action in light of the Ten Commandments and the Gospel law of love. They are given a theological foundation for ethical behavior. Students are not good because they act in accord with rules and expectations. Rather, because students are good, i.e. sons and daughters of God, they are expected to act and make choices that are in keeping with this dignity.
  
  Catholic school students learn that since community is at the heart of who we are, there are no strangers, only brothers and sisters in the Lord. We have a responsibility to respond to the needs of others because we are all part of God's family.
