Foundation to Advance Catholic Education
Our Mission
The Foundation to Advance Catholic Education (FACE) is committed to ensuring that no child is denied the opportunity of attending one of our schools do to financial hardship. FACE partners with many generous donors to provide scholarships directly to students in Kindergarten through Grade Eight and to support our five high schools scholarship programs.

"Thanks to the Hope and Opportunity Initiative everything changed in my life for my children. My children have been given an opportunity to receive a Catholic Education which has a higher level of academic standards for my children. I see that their skills have improved in different areas not only in their academics but also in such areas as their manners, getting along with others, and kindness. The most important gift of Hope and Opportunity is that now they know how really important God is in our life. Our God has made this all possible! I am very thankful and so blessed for this program that has made it possible for my children to receive a Catholic Education!"
