OUR BRIGHT FUTURE bright [brahyt] adjective 2012 ANNUAL REPORT 1 : intelligent, clever
Dear Friends in Christ,
On behalf of the nearly 12,000 children enrolled in the schools served by the Our Faith, Our Children, Our Future School Tuition Organization (STO), I would like to thank you for your generous contribution to this important program during 2011. We are very pleased to have reached our goal of $3.6 million that can be distributed as tuition awards in these challenging economic times.
In our five year history of distributions, we have been able to award $13.7 million to families in need. This money is a great support for families who desire an education in any of our Archdiocesan schools, but may struggle to afford it. Together we are making a significant difference by giving the gift of school choice to thousands of families across the Archdiocese.
This year’s Annual Report, Growing in Faith, is a fitting successor to last year’s report, Planting the Seeds. Each gift allows the seeds of our faith to be planted into the hearts and minds of children and nurtured as they attend our schools. Your support helps to ensure that they may grow up to lead our Church and society to a bright and fruitful future.
Thank you for hearing God's call and responding so generously.
May God continue to bless you,
