Christ the Servant Parish Stewardship for October

We need more help. Alumni and Current Parents of our Holy Cross Academy - Our Lady of Peace Campus I want to thank so many of you who have responded generously to the Matching Fund Appeal for our Lady of Peace Campus. Because to your sacrificial giving, we now have a 1:1 iPad for our 6-8 and we will be able to provide Chromebook computers for our 6-8 classrooms. The $24,000.00 Matching Fund Gift Appeal to Holy Cross Academy at Our Lady of Peace is meant establish a 1:1 iPad program, science tables, window blinds and new lighting for our students. Both the science lab and the iPad program will allow our children a 21st Century tool to both organize and further their education with excellence. To the Parents of our Students: Per pupil cost at Our Lady of Peace approximates $4,600.00 per year. Our parents this year alone have received a $2000.00 scholarship each in providing a reduced per pupil cost for the first student. We ask you to considering giving a gift toward the Matching Fund Appeal. To the Alumni of Our Lady of Peace: We would invite you to share in providing for the new genera-tion of students who now attend Our Lady of Peace. Remembering what we received foundationally here at Our Lady of Peace would result in a welcome response to share in the Catholic education of our current children. Your continued belief in the value of a Catholic education has been and continues to influence the lives of so many. It is an investment with so many returns. Sincerely, Msgr. Lewis F. Gaetano, Pastor
