Catholic Schools Week is such a fun week and it ends with a beautiful Mass that reminds all of us why we have the privilege of celebrating the week in the first place. Along the way, we had our first Faculty/Staff vs. Students Volleyball game (I can't remember who actually won), my favorite day of the year - Great To Be A Saint Day with 117 eighth grade students, Spain won the Olympics competition, and Pack the Place on Friday saw our Boys' Basketball team win a thriller in front of a standing room only crowd!

Apply For Tuition Assistance Through March 15
|
|
|
We do not want tuition to be a barrier to anyone. We have something very special here and we want to share it! If you would like to pursue financial assistance there are two steps:
- To apply for financial assistance, including the Spalding Scholarship from the Diocese of Peoria, the FACTS Grant and Aid form must be submitted by March 15.
- In addition to completing the FACTS Grant and Aid form, contact your Pastor to see if there is any additional assistance your parish can provide (Please note that every Central Catholic family in our Partner Parishes already receives assistance that bridges the gap between our non-affiliated and affiliated tuition rates.)
For additional information, please email me or call 661-7000, ext. 304.
