Grant Writing Meeting:
The Grant Writing Committee continues to look for new members. In the last two years the Committee has received approximately $30,000 in grant money. We would like to expand our efforts to writing grants not only for the school but for the parish. To do this we are in need of additional help! It is not necessary to know how to write grants. Help is needed to research available grants. We meet one Monday a month. If you are interested in helping us please call the school office at 937-9483. We would be most appreciative of your gift of time. As the saying goes, "Many hands make light work." There are so many things we would like to accomplish, please consider helping us. Thank you.
