Giving Opportunities

A donation to financial aid at Mother McAuley bridges the gap between the actual cost to educate a student and the cost to families; tuition alone covers only 89% of the cost to educate a student. No matter the size, every gift is greatly appreciated and every gift will make a difference. Please help us to close the gap!
