There are many ways you can make a difference and support the efforts of Catholic education in Central Texas.
Lifting up our Catholic schools in your regular prayer life is essential to our continued success. Join a school’s intercessory prayer team or commit to a Holy Hour of prayer at the school’s parish church in Adoration.
Volunteering is another way to make a difference and advance the mission of our Catholic schools. Your particular talent or your presence to our school community through volunteerism connects you to a vibrant community of faith that enriches everyone involved. Please reach out to a school if you are interested in service opportunities.
In order to provide Catholic education to as many families as possible, tuition is lower than the cost to educate a child, creating a “tuition gap.” Partnering with a Catholic school through its annual fund, tuition assistance fund, or bequests is a tangible way to support the programs of the school or to help a child whose family would not otherwise experience the fruits of Catholic education.
The Office of Catholic Schools established a fund to support schools' tuition assistance programs. The funds collected will in turn be distributed to Catholic school students in need. If you wish to support this effort, please use the button below to donate online
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.
Now more than ever, our schools are in need of your support to continue providing tuition assistance opportunities for students and their families. We ask that you prayerfully consider supporting our schools by donating online through the links below.
