Introducing the St. Louis Catholic School Inaugural Annual Fund!

Honoring Our Legacy. Investing in Our Future.

As we prepare to celebrate 70 years of faith, family, and excellence, we are excited to launch our Inaugural Annual Fund! Building on nearly seven decades of generosity, the Annual Fund will provide flexible support for our school and parish's greatest needs, including Catholic education, faith formation, faculty support, and campus improvements.

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference! We invite all St. Louis families to prayerfully consider making a gift and becoming part of this historic first year. Your generosity today will help strengthen our school, support our mission, and ensure that the St. Louis tradition continues for generations to come.

Make your gift today and help us build the next 70 years of St. Louis! Visit St. Louis School Annual Fund or scan the QR code in this week's Wednesday Wire flyer. Together, we can honor our legacy and invest in our future!
