What is an Angel?
An Angel helps subsidize the cost of Catholic grammar school tuition to a student by providing partial tuition assistance starting at $2,500/year. By becoming an Angel, you not only provide the financial support to a student in need, but you also represent the confidence a child needs in order to succeed through grammar school and beyond. Your investment in your Angel student’s education is truly a life-changing gift.
What to expect as an Angel
As an Angel to a student, your investment in a student’s life goes far beyond a tuition payment. Angels and their students correspond via notes, cards and drawings, and all Angels receive progress reports to ensure their student’s success.
Angels meet their students at an annual celebration, the Angel Reception, and can also visit the student’s school for plays, recitals or graduation ceremonies.
Angels have the chance to become involved in a student’s life in a positive, impactful way and witness the fruit of their student’s academic and spiritual life.
Angel Program Testimonial
We made the decision as a family to enroll my son in Catholic school after we saw the difficulty and tragedy that the schools in our neighborhood were experiencing (crimes, gangs, theft, etc.). We knew that this would be a difficult economic odyssey. However, right at that time, Father Manuel de Jesus Rodriguez at our parish informed us about this beautiful and blessed project of love called Futures in Education. That is the reason why today we have this opportunity after three years to thank you, I thank you from the bottom of my heart as a mother. Your help towards us can only translate into infinite blessings for you in all areas of your life dear Angel. After this three year journey, I have seen how my son has transformed his life into better grades, he now plays sports, is surrounded by a healthy environment, and above all, he became knowledgeable of God, which for me is so valuable.
Catholic Alumni Partnership
School Development
The Futures in Education School Development Program is aimed at helping Catholic elementary schools reconnect with their alumni and aid in school development efforts. Ultimately, our vision is to create a sustainable fundraising program for every Catholic elementary school, with alumni support as its foundation.
In the Diocese of Brooklyn, serving Brooklyn and Queens, the trend of declining enrollment and closed schools is turning around. As the schools convert to an Academy model governed by a board of directors, they are being positioned for the future. Thanks to the generosity and support of cherished alumni, parents and friends, the schools continue to provide the caring, nurturing environment that produces a quality, faith and morals-based Catholic education.
