The Kellerman family established an endowment to support Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Austin.
CJ and Bernadette Kellerman were devout Roman Catholics who sacrificed so their children could attend Catholic schools. Their faith lead CJ to his final calling; to raise awareness of the need of Catholic schools in the Austin area. CJ worked tirelessly with Archbishop Gregory Aymond, Bishop Joe Vasquez, Bishop Daniel Garcia, Dr. Ned Vanders – Superintendent of Catholic Schools, Diocese of Austin; as well as countless others to bring Holy Family Catholic School, and St. Dominic Savio Catholic High School into existence. CJ was involved in the expansion efforts of San Juan Diego Catholic High School. CJ was also instrumental in the construction of St. William Catholic Church’s current sanctuary in Round Rock. CJ’s and Bernadette’s unselfish contribution of their time, treasure and talent were the catalyst in these endeavors.
