The deadline to turn in applications for the MFCE second annual Marilyn Peschong Memorial Scholarship was yesterday. I am happy to report that we received 6 wonderful applications from alumnus of John Paul II School who will be graduating from high school this year. I can not wait to share some of the inspiring stories and essays they wrote about how Catholic Education influenced their lives. It literally brought me to tears. I know what our Foundation is doing is making a difference in so many live, and this is point perfect. We are so blessed to have the opportunity to send our children to John Paul II Catholic School. I am even more encouraged in my goals of "Preserving the Past and Protecting the Future!" of Catholic Education in Mitchell,SD! |

It all started June 9,2011, when John Green graced us with his presence at the MFCE 9th Annual Endowment Banquet and painted a picture of our John Paul II School. When John unveiled the painting at the banquet, my heart skipped a beat and I was breathless! It was absolutely stunning! As the banquet went on, John made the finishing touches and when finished Ralph Kiner auctioned the painting off with John standing by. Terry and Deb Sabers, long time supporters of our Foundation, won the painting. Today it continues to be a blessing, as Terry and Deb graciously donated the original back to our Foundation. It will hang in the main hallway of John Paul II School for everyone to enjoy. But the story does not end there. Prints were commissioned of the painting and now you can enjoy it in your home as well. The print is rightly named "Learning in the Light of Faith" and prints are on now on sale. All proceeds from the sale of this print will help us in our mission to Preserve the Past and Protect the Future of Catholic Education in Mitchell,SD!
Artist Prints are $150.00
Prints 1-200 are $100.00
Prints 200 + are $65.00 All prints can be obtained through the

A
few weeks ago we began our First Annual Fund Drive appeal.
1,608 letters were mailed out to parishioners of Holy Family and
Holy Spirit. As of Dec 2, we have
received 2% of those pledge
cards back; and raised $4515.00, which is 9% of our goal.
I give thanks and praise to God for the generosity of those who
have joined us so far in our mission to Preserve the Past &
Protect the Future of Catholic Education in Mitchell! We have a
ways to go to reach our goal of $50,000 and I hope you will continue
to prayerfully consider helping us reach it. We are
preparing for the
future of the nearly 650 students and families we serve each year through
the combined Faith Formation programs of our parishes and
John Paul II School!
Heavenly
Father, as we begin this Advent, give light to our eyes and peace to our
hearts.
May the Lord find us watching and
waiting in joy when He comes. Amen |
