I donate to the Catholic Education Foundation because I believe that all children should have the benefit of a faith-based education regardless of financial means.
My name is Olivia, and I will be going into 7th grade next year at St. Paul the Apostle school. My mom told me that the CEF is helping her pay for some of the tuition! She says we are so blessed. I told my mom that is so nice. I want to thank you so much. I really love my school and appreciate your support with financial aid.
We know that without your help our daughter could not get this private Catholic education but we are grateful to you and God for making her education possible. Thanks for all you do for our daughter, may God bless you!
