2019 Annual Fund

Dear parents and friends of Corpus Christi Catholic School,

For 60 years, Corpus Christi Catholic School has educated thousands of young students in the richness of our Catholic faith and traditions. Our school’s mission, to provide a learning environment where each student can grow spiritually and academically, is at the forefront of everything we do, and it is because we are blessed with an outstanding community comprised of students, parents, faculty, alumni, and parishioners that we have been successful in achieving this goal. We directly attribute the success of our Christ-centered academic program and longterm financial stability solely to the support of this remarkable community. The Annual Fund is an integral part of our school’s success in that it allows us to offer affordable tuition to our families while providing our children with the best academic resources available. Together with the additional assistance of the Parish, the Annual Fund helps to close the gap between the actual cost to educate each child and the price associated with his or her education.

All contributions made to the Annual Fund directly impact and enhance the quality of education available at Corpus Christi Catholic School, and since its inception, the Annual Fund has received approximately $115,000.00 in direct monetary donations. As of October 2018, more than $86,000.00 has been spent on school enhancements. Corpus Christi Catholic School is celebrating its 60th anniversary. Since May 22, 1958, when we first broke ground for our 3-room school building that served 105 students, many things have changed. There are nearly 500 students currently enrolled at our school, and we eagerly look forward to another 60 years of providing opportunities to grow in faith, to achieve academic success, and to serve others as disciples of Jesus.

Our goal for our spring Annual Fund is to substantially increase participation in our fundraising efforts. Every donation, no matter the amount, makes a difference. We ask you to prayerfully consider giving to this worthy cause, for our continued success depends on the generosity of our school families, grandparents, alumni, and parishioners. It is only in working together that we will be able to ensure the future of Corpus Christi Catholic School.

Sincerely,
