Our Catholic schools were at the forefront of the pandemic in 2020 and 2021. They pioneered hybrid learning, ensured the timely return of our students to school and, with the help of the Appeal, provided struggling families with the tuition assistance necessary to keep their children in Catholic school. These students are the leaders of tomorrow and the future of our Church, and their formation and education are paramount. Through the Appeal, we are able to evangelize and equip our parishes and schools with the education, digital content, and services necessary to bring the Gospel message to parents, parishioners, and students in an accessible and streamlined way.
