LEGACY FUND 2020 If you haven't had a chance to join the Legacy campaign, please read what some of our families had to say about the tuition assistance program it funds. Every gift helps a student! Thank you. https://www.givecentral.org/holyspirit-schoolLegacy

Thank you for your continued support of Holy Spirit School, most especially through the current Legacy Fund Campaign. The campaign has reached almost $65,000 of its $120,000 goal. As your new pastor, I find myself in the excellent company of priests and pastors who have been blessed to be a part of Holy Spirit School. In particular, I am honored to be a part of this campaign that sows the seeds of Father Tom’s gift, Father Paul’s vision and Father Brendan’s tireless efforts ...on behalf of the students and families of Holy Spirit School. This school year in particular, the tuition assistance program, that the Legacy Fund supports, was called upon to help many of our current families. It would be a great testament to our community if we could grow this fund not only to support our current families, but to offer Holy Spirit School’s pillars of FAITH, KNOWLEDGE and COMMUNITY to new families and students seeking a nurturing environment for children to learn and grow. If you have not already done so, there is still time to join us and donate today. There is no amount too small! I understand some of you are not in a position to make a financial gift at this time, I ask you for your continued prayers. Please pray for our students, our teachers and for the success of this campaign. Thank you again for your support. God Bless, Fr. Ritche To donate now: https://www.givecentral.org/appeals-form-registrati//guest

LEGACY FUND 2020 Thank you all so much for supporting our Legacy Fund campaign this year. In particular, thank you to our 30+ donors so far! We are up to almost $25,000 of our $120,000 goal! When I first joined Holy Spirit School in kindergarten, I didn’t know anything about Legacy Funds or tuition assistance. I did know that this brand-new school was the place my parents chose for me and for my sister to gain the foundation that would ground us in our FAITH, fill us with KN...OWLEDGE and create a lifelong COMMUNITY. Today I am here working alongside two of the same wonderful teachers that taught me, Mrs. Balboni and Mrs. Coulter! I now have the great joy of sharing my FAITH, imparting KNOWLEDGE and living in COMMUNITY with my very own second grade students --- in the same classroom where Mrs. Coulter taught me! (It took me a while to be able to call her Lisa!) Read more of Ms. Adamo's letter here: http://www.holyspirit-school.org/ap/pages/LegacyUpdates2020 See more
