This February, as we celebrate love and gratitude, we want to take a moment to say thank you—from the depths of our hearts. Your generosity helps students throughout the Archdiocese receive the gift of a faith-filled education, inspiring hope and creating opportunities for students to thrive in faith.

RJ Gildea, CEF Board Chair said it best:

"You are the reason students in our most vulnerable areas have a safe place to experience their faith and truly live out its meaning."

Your support is more than financial assistance — it is an act of love. It ensures that families who long for a Catholic education for their children can receive it, regardless of their financial situation. It provides students access to classrooms where they are known, loved and encouraged to grow in both academically and in their faith.

“My family is happier than ever because even when we face challenges, we have our faith." - Parent of CEF Scholarship Recipient

This Valentine’s season, know that you are making a profound difference.

With your support, CEF is awarding $5.1 million in scholarships, helping approximately 1,900 students receive a Catholic education this year. Many of these students would not be able to attend our Catholic schools without financial assistance.

Your kindness is shaping lives and filling hearts with faith, hope and love.
