You may have noticed that The Francis Fund – our Tuition Assistance Fund (listed in the bulletin each week) "starts over" with a new fiscal year beginning July 1st. You should know we helped 16 families with reduced tuition through grants this past school year with your donations of $57,559.50. So, my personal THANKS to all who contribute to this fund which helps families keep their children in our Catholic School. In addition, every child in our school receives a grant from SFA Parish to help offset the actual cost of educating a child. This year the cost to educate one student is $6436 and the tuition we charge is $5356. So the difference comes in a grant from our parishioner’s generosity to the Sunday offertory and The Francis Fund. Of, course this need continues, so please consider making a special gift on Back to School Sunday, August 11. Our goal is to get a gift for every child in our elementary school. There will be a second collection that weekend to support The Francis Fund. Let’s get at least 275 (one per student) gifts that back to school week. Thank you for your continued support of SFA School.

Did You Know?

Many employers offer matching donations to charitable organizations. The Francis Fund has received three matching donations from employers this year. Ask if your employer will match your donation today!

However, we usually want so much more. A good Spending Time with God in Prayer. steward only asks God for what he needs. Eucharistic Adorers are always needed in the Adoration Chapel.
