Parish Development Office Reports Successes
Tuesday, April 16, 2024
The efforts of our Parish Development Office have been fruitful again this year.
The popular Walkathon, held last October for our students, brought in $145,862 dollars of profit, ear-marked for new clear touch boards, new Pre-K equipment, exterior fencing enhancements around the playground and support towards our full-time police presence each school day.
The Parish Craft Fair continues to grow in popularity each Fall. A modest but meaningful $8,368 came to the parish to support the office renovation project.
Our recent Grand Auction Dinner Dance, held in our gymnasium last month to celebrate our 65th anniversary as a parish church, brought in a whopping $238,347 in profit!
Many initiatives will be supported by this clarion effort; e.g., technology updating in our school classrooms and offices, new equipment and programming for the STEAM lab, new computers and computer software for our school computer lab, modernizing two sets of customized doors for the school, meaningful support for dicoesan charities, and seed money for the soon-to-be-announced Capital Campaign, which will seek to underwrite the construction of SIX new classrooms for our growing student body. Our school currently has a waiting list!
Thanks to all who have been so involved in advancing the work and successes of our parish Development Office!
