GIVING TO ST. JOSEPH SCHOOL
    

      

ANNUAL FUND

Each spring, St. Joseph School holds its Annual Fund.  This Fund is necessary for the annual operations of St. Joseph School. Every student who has ever attended St. Joseph has benefited from the generosity and donations from others.  St. Joseph School’s tuition is competitive when compared to other private schools in the area. This program helps bridge the gap between the revenues generated by tuition and fees and the actual cost of providing an education to our students.  Without the support of our St. Joseph families and friends through this appeal, we could not provide the outstanding education at the present tuition levels. By keeping tuition affordable, St. Joseph School welcomes families from a diversity of financial backgrounds while growing stronger every year in its educational offerings.

Thank you for your support of the Annual Fund.   Your gift to St. Joseph School enables us to continue the fine traditions of our past…our present…and our future!     

BEQUESTS           

Please remember to keep St. Joseph School in your long-term financial planning.
An outright bequest, stipulated in your Will, to St. Joseph School, whatever the amount, is entirely free from federal estate taxes. Those who practice the significance of God’s Church in their life through a school that has made a difference will want to consider that school in their death.  Giving by bequest costs nothing now, yet it may give you a great deal of satisfaction to know that your future gift will live on for the benefit of St. Joseph School.      

ST.JOSEPH GARDEN CAMPAIGN  

Building leaders of tomorrow….The future comes one brick at a time!!!
The dream of our St. Joseph Garden has become a reality! Our dream was made possible by the generous support of parishioners Bob Szewcyzk (Excellence Landscaping) and Michael Oremus (Illinois Brick). Seating wall opportunities are sold out! There is always room for more gardens if you do so wish. Garden and brick orders will be taken throughout the year through the Advancement office, rectory or collection basket. Orders can also be mailed directly to the school: Advancement Office – Michelle Ray, 529 Madison St., Lockport, IL 60441.

We Are Standing On Holy Ground ~ We dedicated the garden on November 4th, 2007.

OUTRIGHT GIFTS
The simplest way to contribute is with an outright gift made during the giver’s lifetime.  A gift of appreciated assets such as securities or real estate, offers important tax advantages when made to the Endowment Fund.  All gifts are welcome. MEMORIAL GIFTS          

 

MEMORIAL GIFTS
In lieu of flowers, a Memorial gift to the School is a lovely way to keep the spirit of a loved one alive through the eyes of a child.  In the past, memorial donations have been utilized to purchase chairs, desks and furniture for our new preschool program and our kindergarten classroom.  Memorial gifts can be designated to any area of the school.  The person being memorialized and the gift giver should be clearly identified. Upon receipt of your gift, Advancement will send an acknowledgement to you.
