THE SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS a weekly bulletin & newsletter August 19, 2018 • 20 th Sunday in Ordinary Time
The 2018-2019 school year has officially begun! We are very grateful to so many families, parishioners, friends, alumni, and businesses who have contributed to St. Louis Catholic School over the past year. These gifts make the difference between a good school and one that truly stands out as a special place. Our Annual Fund campaign kicks off this weekend and we invite you to partner with us so we can continue impacting the lives of our youth with quality education infused with the light of Christ. Contributions to our Annual Fund strengthen and support so many areas of our school including expansion of our academic programming, securing quality teachers, renovating and maintaining our campus, and supporting athletics and extracurriculars. Most importantly, our Annual Fund allows us to keep tuition affordable so we can offer a Catholic Education to as many families as possible. It is truly inspiring to be surrounded by a community that values and believes in the Catholic education that St. Louis is providing to its students. On behalf of the entire community, I would like to thank you for participating in our mission to form children in wisdom and holiness. Many Blessings, Jessica Chaffee, Director of Advancement and Development Donations will be accepted at the church or school office, mail, or on our website at www.slcsaustin. org. For more information about the Annual Fund, please contact Jessica Chaffee: jessica.chaffee@ slcsaustin.org, 512-614-6622 x296. Thank you again for your support and prayers.
