Dear Saint Aloysius Families,
As we are now well into our new school year I am very happy to report that our enrollment keeps growing. We have opened a second Pre-Kindergarten classroom and have welcomed 73 new students to our school. Our enrollment has increased from 257 to 283! We have not welcomed that many students since before I arrived at Saint Aloysius in June of 2010. Just as importantly, our students and families remain thrilled to be able to be in school and our teachers continue to be the most joyful and dedicated faculty that can be found! I am so very happy to be able to say that because of all these wonderful blessings our students remain well positioned to learn in a safe environment, to cheerfully engage in their classwork, and to thrive in a Catholic formation that equips them to become Saints!
With this letter, we officially begin our Annual Fund Appeal for the 2022/2023 school year. We thank you so much for enabling us to once again surpass our goal last year by contributing over $200,000.00 to our appeal. This year, we have set the goal for our Appeal at $200,000.00. It is indeed a challenging goal but we know that with your help it can be achieved. Saint Aloysius Parish School does not charge our students a tuition that matches the cost of their education. Our tuition rate is at least $1,000.00 below the actual cost of providing a student with his/her education. One might ask why we do not simply charge each student the actual cost of his/her education. The answer to that question is that we have a bit of a different philosophy. While we do, of course, have to make ends meet, making the financial “bottom line” is not our primary bottom line. Our goal is to educate, form and equip as many students to be saints as we possibly can. Your contribution to the Annual Fund makes our education and formation accessible to as many young souls as possible. It also helps us to expand what we can provide for them.
And so, dear friends, we once again humbly and boldly ask all of you to continue your journey with Saint Aloysius Parish School so that together we might continue to build the dream that with the grace of God we have together brought into existence. Our wonderful school continues to shine ever more brightly in our community and in our hearts as the beacon of hope that it truly is, as through it we give our students the opportunity to learn, to pray and to worship in person. This gives you, as one who very much believes in and supports our school, a unique opportunity to make a strong statement in support of our mission at this moment in time. Therefore, we ask you to prayerfully ask the Lord’s guidance in contributing an amount that will be meaningful to you and your family. If it is at all possible, we ask that you might increase your gift this year. That is what is at the heart of our appeal. Your gift will support our effort to keep our students safely in school and our school effectively sustainable and to enhance its much-needed mission. Know that your gift will be greatly appreciated and will have a profound impact on each and every child at Saint Aloysius Parish School.
With gratitude for your consideration and great hope in our future,
“We are and with God’s grace ever will be…. Saint Aloysius!”
Father Joseph L. Maloney, Pastor
