Did you know that tuition only accounts for a little more than half of the total funds we need to operate our school? Our parishes cover a little over a quarter of our annual budgetary needs. This leaves us with a financial gap - the difference between the revenue from tuition and parish subsidies and the actual expenses of the school - of more than $1,100 per student.
This $1,100 per student gap is covered through fundraisers and donations from alumni, past and current parents, parishioners, community members and business owners and friends of St. Francis/Holy Ghost Catholic School. Some of the most significant fundraisers include Harvest Fest and the Knights of Columbus Dinner Auction.
Larger gifts including scholarships and memorials are necessary to fund many other projects and initiatives so the SF/HG can maintain its high academic standards and the best facilities possible.
We are making it easier for you to positively impact St. Francis/Holy Ghost Catholic School and help lower tuition costs with FACTS Giving. Whether you are part of our current school or church family, alumni, or a member of the broader community, FACTS Giving will allow you to easily and quickly make donations to support SF/HG or engage in a number of other fundraising opportunities, such as the Harvest Fest Grand Raffle or buying your ticket to the Knights of Columbus Dinner Auction. Please come back to our Donate page soon as we will have our FACTS Giving page live and available for you to be a part of our mission to grow disciples of Christ.
