Give with faith. Give with purpose. Give with joy.
This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to be part of something truly meaningful. A generous donor has pledged to match every gift—up to $10,000—to our Gaels Legacy Endowment Fund, doubling the impact of your generosity from now until Dec 2.
In a season full of giving, we know the needs are many, and times may be tough. But this gift is more than financial, it’s a spiritual investment in the future of our children and our faith.
The Endowment Fund supports both St. Michael School and our Religious Education programs, helping ensure that every child in our community, regardless of where they attend school, has access to a strong Catholic foundation. It’s a way to nurture young hearts in Christ, form future leaders in faith, and keep our parish mission thriving for generations.
Whether you give $10 or $100, your gift will be matched and your impact multiplied.
What is the Gaels Legacy Endowment Fund?
Our endowment fund allows our generous donors to support St. Michael the Archangel Catholic School and St. Michael's Religious Education Program for today and forever.

The Gaels Legacy Fund supports our school and Religious Education needs. You can help support this important work by making a contribution, in any amount, to the Gaels Legacy Fund. Please prayerfully consider supporting our mission. You can contribute to the fund in the following ways:
