Student Sponsorship

Reverend Arch Thomas, former superintendent of the Toledo Diocese, said in a speech,
“How much good will go undone if we fail to educate one child in Catholic education?”
It is our mission to assure that no child is denied this education because of financial circumstances. Until the late 1960's, there was no tuition charged at the Norwalk Catholic Schools. In the early 1970's, a book fee was charged and then a small tuition. In the early 1980's tuition was approximately $200 at the elementary schools and $350 at the high school. Today, high school tuition is $2,340. A gift made to support a student's Catholic education, regardless of the financial burdens of the family, is the greatest gift of all.
Do you know which child will leave our schools and transform the world?

The Norwalk Catholic Schools Endowment Fund

The Norwalk Catholic Schools Endowment Fund was established in 1999. Over the years, the endowment has grown through the Legacy Grows campaign, personal visits, and annual fund donations. Today the endowment fund has grown to $2.8 million. The money is given to St. Mary and St. Paul schools to enhance teachers' salaries. In 2003, $100,000 will be given to our schools to assist in paying our teachers a competitive wage. Attention to just wages for parochial school teachers has been a goal of the Endowment Fund.
