Support Our School

March 17, 2021

St. Ignatius Martyr Catholic School’s teachers and students are unsung heroes! This school year has been challenging in so many ways for our administration, faculty and students. With difficulties come blessings. We have experienced tremendous blessings within our student body and faculty throughout this school year and are extremely proud of our many accomplishments during this year of the pandemic. Our students and teachers repeatedly adapted to meet new challenges becoming stronger and more resilient with each new obstacle. Our faculty and staff maintained a high level of education while supporting each other’s spiritual well-being. Fr. John and Mr. Valle assisted our faculty in any possible way with technology and curriculum enhancements to help with virtual and in person learning. St. Ignatius Martyr School families rallied together to help one another and continually let our faculty know how much they are appreciated. So many blessings to be grateful for in our school community!

Recently, we made the difficult decision not to have our annual in person gala this year to celebrate our school and raise essential funds for operations. This decision was made with care and caution for the safety of our community. We have had to dig deep into our budget reserves over this school year to serve our student body and faculty with many increased expenditures that were unforeseen when we made our budget. As a result, we are asking for you to make a financial donation similar to what you have donated in prior years for our gala. 

Our future depends on the support of our generous donors like you who lay the groundwork for Catholic education with financial gifts. Our goal is $50,000. With thanksgiving, 2021 marks our 80th year educating students at St. Ignatius Martyr Catholic School. We look forward to gathering in person in February 2022 for our next school gala, until then will you please help us reach our goal?

In gratitude,

Fr. John Dougherty, Pastor
Fred Valle, Principal
