Appeal funds allocated for tuition assistance afford approximately 350 families the option of an academically excellent, Christ-centered, Catholic school education for their children. Archdiocesan Catholic schools equip young learners with the educational and moral foundations upon which to build prosperous lives of virtue and faith, leading to success in their post-academic careers and to their becoming agents of positive change in their communities. As families within our Archdiocese have recently seen a sharp decrease in their household incomes due to the coronavirus, Appeal funds in support of tuition assistance are making it possible for some of them to keep their children enrolled and to keep apace of their more advantaged peers.
