Giving Tuesday is about coming together as a community to make an impact. As a supporter of Catholic education, you understand the importance of a high-quality, faith-filled education. Catholic education builds a strong foundation of faith, academic excellence and moral leadership.

In October, Bishop Ward High School senior Jaime Vega shared how he felt when he transferred to a Catholic school with support from CEF scholarships:

"There were kids like me—first-generation Mexican families, families whose parents didn’t speak English, whose families were Catholic—going to Mass each week and praying for a better future."
- Jaime Vega, CEF Scholarship Recipient

With your generosity, students like Jaime not only gain access to exceptional education but also find a nurturing environment that helps them grow in faith and achieve their dreams. Right now, 2,000 students are receiving a Catholic education thanks to donors like you. Your gift to CEF helps Catholic schools throughout the Archdiocese say yes to new students.

Every gift makes a difference, providing tuition assistance to families who dream of a better future for their children. This Giving Tuesday, December 3, you have the opportunity to prepare the way for our community's most at-risk students to access the caring, faith-filled learning environments that Catholic schools provide.

Your year-end gift this holiday season truly makes a difference—not just today, but in the lives of our students for years to come.
