You can use you account to pay registration fees, and tuition for grade school, high school and even college (does not have to be a Catholic school) AND COLLEGE LOANS!!!!!!!

On Friday, September 29th, St. Christopher School students, staff, and faculty had a dress-down day for families who had been affected by the recent hurricanes. The National Catholic Educators Association (NCEA) has organized a campaign to raise funds to help those in need. NCEA will distribute 100 percent of the funds collected to dioceses in the affected areas for their Catholic school communities in vital need of support due to the impact of the hurricanes. We have actually located a St. Christopher School in Houston and we have named it as the recipient of our donation. We collected $3,263 on the 29th and have begun to send along this help to St. Christopher, Houston. Thanks to all who donated.

That is correct and means exactly what it says. Beginning this September, Nutritional Development Service (NDS) we are making free breakfasts and lunches available to all of our students. Menus will be provided ahead time so students and parents can plan. The goal of the program is to encourage healthy eating habits with our students.
