HELPING SECURE
CATHOLIC EDUCATION FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
The school tree, donated in memory of James and Dorothy Wathen on May 25, 2001,
is not only a beautiful piece of art,
but lists the names of donors who so generously have given to the Holy Name
School Endowment. The future of
Holy Name School is in good hands. You can make a difference and insure
the best for our next generation of students
by giving generously now. Please prayerfully consider supporting
Holy Name School's endowment fund.
Shel Silverstein wrote a book called The Giving Tree that offers an interpretation
of the gift of giving.
Holy Name School's foyer has a beautiful bronze tree that has become a symbol of
giving to future generations of
Catholic school students.
Sincerely in Christ,
As many of you know,
I spent most of my life being involved with Catholic education.
I have been a student, teacher, Dean, Principal, Priest-Pastor,
and now currently serve as Pastor of Holy Name Church.
I encourage anyone who is interested in learning more about securing
the future of our school to contact our principal to see how a
charitable gift to our school endowment will help our students today and tomorrow.
Fr. J. Edward Bradley

The Holy Name School endowment fund was created with the future in mind.
What started less than a decade
ago, as a dream, is slowly becoming a reality. With contributions from the public, our monetary goal is one million dollars.
We will not draw from this fund until $1,000,000 is raised. With the principal from that money, Holy Name School with
be able to provide supplemental funds for operations, such as employee salary enhancements, capital needs at the school,
and tuition assistance for financially disadvantaged families.
Yes. In addition to cash contributions, Holy Name School can also accept stocks, bonds, gift annuities and trusts.
