As Thanksgiving approaches, we are reminded to count our blessings.  We are especially grateful for the support of our many alumni, families, and friends.  Without your support, we would not be able to offer the quality education our students receive. 
 
We are acutely aware of the sacrifice families make to provide their child with a Catholic education.  They continue to make this commitment even as their own family expenses are rising.  We are doing our part by holding tuition increases to a minimum, yet still delivering a quality education.  The cost to educate a student at Gross Catholic is actually $1,135 more than this year's tuition.  We work very hard to raise the funds necessary to offer families even more assistance through academic scholarships, family discounts, and/or financial need awards.  This year, 70% of our students received additional help for a total of $850,000 with these types of tuition assistance.  We are only able to provide this assistance with your help.
 
We invite you to consider a gift to the Gross Catholic Annual Fund as you plan your charitable giving during this holiday season.  You may be able to give a larger gift by spreading your payments throughout the year.   Whatever you can share will provide our students with a quality education in the Marianist tradition. 
 
Thank you for your commitment to education at Gross Catholic.  We wish you and your family a blessed holiday season!
