Dear Gross Catholic Families-

We sincerely hope this message finds you well. As members of the Gross Catholic community, you know firsthand the value of a strong, faith-filled Marianist education that shapes not only academic success but also builds character and leadership. We ask for your support in continuing our mission by contributing to the Annual Fund.

Your charitable donations directly impact our students by enhancing programs that nurture both minds, hearts and souls. These contributions allow us to offer a high-quality, Christ-centered education to students from all walks of life. When you give, you help ensure that future generations of Cougars can thrive academically, spiritually, and socially.

Giving to Gross Catholic also strengthens our shared legacy. Each donation, no matter the size, reinforces the value of community and service that our school holds dear. It's a powerful way to invest in the future and support a place that has made a meaningful difference in your life and the lives of your children.

Together, we can continue to grow and inspire students to become servant leaders in our community and the world.  

Thank you for your continued support of Gross Catholic.

With Blessings-

Stephen P. Eubanks '84
