Annual Giving Campaign

The Annual Giving Campaign is essential to continuing the ministry of educating our children. Donations to the Cabrini Annual Giving Campaign go to two vital areas. Your generous gift will help --

--Provide Tuition Assistance and make Catholic education possible for families in need. Cost should not prevent children from getting a Catholic education. Cabrini School is committed to the principle that its doors shall be open to all, regardless of economic circumstances and makes every effort to achieve this goal. The Annual Giving Campaign is a way you can help make Catholic education accessible to many families. Each year the need increases. Won't you help?

--Generate Capital Funds - Your donation to the Annual Giving Campaign also helps upgrade facilities to ensure they are safe and secure learning environments. Our current focus is to replace our Middle School wing in the next few years and to build a media center for our library and technology lab. Major gifts are now being accepted for that project.

Can We Count on Your Help?

Over the years donations to the Annual Giving Campaign have made it possible to…

• Add four classrooms (mid-1990s) for PreKindergarten, Extended Care and the computer lab.
• Improve energy conservation and security (1999)
• Renovate the main building, provide seismic and other life-safety features, and upgrade the learning environment. (2001).
• Enhance curriculum. Donations from our friends provided substantial funds for science and technology labs.

In light of the economic times the needs are greater. We ask you to prayerfully consider an especially generous gift to meet the needs and help those less fortunate.

Will You Join Us?

Financial help from friends and benefactors is crucial to the operation of Cabrini School as a ministry.

Our late Archbishop Thomas Murphy helped to write the following:

"All temporal and spiritual goods are created by and come from God. That is true of everything human beings have:

• Spiritual gifts like faith, hope and love
• Talents of body and brain
• Cherished relationships with family and friends
• Material goods
• The achievement of human genius and skill
• The world itself

One day God will require an accounting of the use each person has made of the particular portion of these goods entrusted to him or her." source: Stewardship: A Disciple's Response. (The US Bishops' Pastoral Letter)
