Support the Church in Northeast Ohio and make a difference with your gift. 
Demonstrate your gratitude to God for all the gifts with which God has blessed you. 
Enrich lives in Northeast Ohio through spiritual, educational, and charitable support. 
We help foster faith-based stewardship in the community for the spiritual, educational and charitable needs of all. The story of how important your support is to families who yearn for Catholic Education, but cannot afford it, is a story rooted in the Gospel. Jesus said, “Let the children come to me and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” (Lk 18:16)
With the Gospel at its heart, Catholic schools provide a loving, nurturing environment where the entire community of parents, teachers, students and supporters are committed to academic and personal success.
The Catholic Diocese of Cleveland is the fifth largest Catholic School system in the United States and the largest private or public school system in the state of Ohio. More than 3,100 students receive need-based tuition assistance annually, thanks to the generosity of donors who believe in the value of Catholic Education.
Imagine the impact you can have when you give a deserving student a Catholic Education through a gift to the Faith and Values Annual Appeal. Your donation carries an additional benefit of helping to make our schools the best they can be, by making it possible to invest in “three T’s:" Tuition-Teachers-Technology.
The 2023 Faith and Values Appeal supports tuition assistance and innovative initiatives like the Aspiring Leaders Program to help our teachers grow and develop their faith and skills for their betterment of and benefit to their students.
