6:30pm – Program begins
5:30pm – Western New York’s largest Catholic Cocktail Hour
– Looking Forward –
In 2001, we embarked on a mission to make Catholic schools in Western New York more accessible to a diverse range of children and families. Now, 25 years and over 13,000 scholarships later, The Foundation of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo and the Diocese’s Department of Catholic Schools remain dedicated to that initial vision.
We believe that a strong Catholic education is one of the greatest gifts we can offer. Guided by the Catholic values instilled in us by our teachers, the Catholic Education Dinner committee works diligently to secure new scholarships in order to expand more opportunities for the next generation of students.
We invite you to join us in supporting this essential cause. Your enthusiasm and commitment to this next chapter in our community’s history is truly appreciated. This guide will illustrate how your support can elevate Catholic education in Western New York. With more ways than ever to contribute, let’s make our 25th dinner the best one yet!
Why is a Catholic Education so important?
A Catholic education offers rigorous academics grounded in teachings of service and social justice. Studies show that Catholic school students continue to outperform public school students in overall academics. Catholic education goes beyond academics and strives to educate the whole student – mind, body and soul. It is an invaluable opportunity to expand their knowledge, explore their passions, create community, strengthen their sense of self and come to know God in one place.
We are grateful for your prayerful consideration to support not only our Catholic schools, but also our families who attend our Catholic schools. Let us teach our children to think critically, be steadfast in their Faith, and ever strong in mature moral values.
