​To Teach as Jesus Did (1972) called on the entire Christian community 
to make a "generous effort" to support parents in educating their children and
communicating the faith and to provide education.​

Catholic education is a ministry of the Roman Catholic Church and is proven to be vital to the future of the Catholic Church.  The support of the entire Catholic community is necessary for the ongoing growth and development of our schools.  ​

​​There are many ways in which support can take form:

• PRAYER: Praying for our Catholic schools or a person in our schools or a school event would be greatly appreciated.​

• SERVICE: Anyone can volunteer their time and talent. You do not need to be a parent of a student.  We welcome the wisdom, experience, and generosity of all our parishioners, regardless of age. Volunteers can assist with supervision, with tutoring, with specialty classes, etc…​

​

• FINANCES:  Any financial gift is welcome.  If you are interested in supporting children from families of lower socio-economic backgrounds to have the opportunity of a Catholic education, you may wish to support SEEDS – Growing Faith through Student Scholarships.
