Engaging young Catholics in Catholic education in San Diego and Imperial counties is critically important to ensure the development of our future Catholic leaders in our parishes and in our communities. Funds designated for Catholic Education provide many opportunities for young Catholics to be able to attend Catholic schools through tuition assistance programs. They also provide Catholic schools with the ability to attract and retain outstanding Catholic leaders and educators to teach and develop our children. Catholic education provides a great way for Catholic children to develop and grow in their Catholic faith while attaining the knowledge and values to help them grow into responsible disciples of Christ.

Leaving a Legacy
St. Columba – Student loves going to school Mass
I like going to School Mass because we do the readings, we’re in the choir, and we do the petitions and responsorial psalm.

Alexander M, 7th Grade Student, St. Michael Academy
My name is Alexander M., and I am a student at St. Michael Academy. I am in seventh grade, I have attended St Michael Academy for two years. I always thought that Catholic School was a waste. Little did I know, I was proven wrong very quickly. Catholic School has helped me a significantly amount. I feel that I have built a better relationship with God. When I go to school, I do not worry about bullying at all. I feel safe when I go to school. I also enjoy that there are not a lot of kids in my class. I get help when I need it. My teachers are great. The help me follow my dreams and help me with my academics. I am honored and blessed to be able to attend Catholic School. It is a true privilege. Thank you Bishop Flores, and Blessing our Future Scholarship for everything.
