Endowment Fund

What is it and why do I need to support it?
Catholic training of both the young and old is a necessary component in today's ever-changing environment. The Catholic educational environment continues to embrace the traditional values of family, faith and education.

The St. Paul of the Cross Parish Educational Endowment Fund was developed in 2000 with the goal of keeping Catholic education affordable and accessible for future generations of SPC students. The Endowment is an investment in the long-term viability and vitality of the school. Today, more than ever, the Endowment Fund is necessary to ensure our school's future. It is important that the education provided by the Catholic school have well-respected teachers, programs, materials and facilities. Retaining quality teachers is essential for Catholic education to be successful, as is maintaining a facility large enough to accomodate the needs of approximately 1,200 religious education students. The only way to protect and preserve Catholic education in the 21st Century is to ensure that each Parish School is financially sound through a Parish Endowment Fund. Thanks to the dedication and generosity of our many benefactors, the Endowment Fund currently has over $1,500,000.00, which has allowed the council to allocate $65,000 back to the school for each of the past three years to offset increases in expenditures and allowed us to keep tuition increase to a minimum. Additionally, the Endowment has funded need-based tuition scholarships for several families.

The St. Paul of the Cross Educational Endowment Fund may help to:

Keep tuition affordable for all families
Maintain and improve educational and religious curriculum for the school children
Assist in providing necessary capital improvements to the school facilities
