Gesu School Annual Giving
We invite you to support our Annual Giving Fund, which bridges the approximately $1,700 gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating each student. This fund ensures our students and teachers have the resources to thrive, carrying our mission into the next 100 years.
A Special Focus on Safety and Security
A key priority this year is supporting new security initiatives. In addition to offsetting general operational expenses, your donation will fund enhancements such as:
-
The cost of a full-time security officer and eventually a School Resource Officer.
-
The Centegix Emergency Button Alert System.
-
Armor Safety Films installed on all first-floor windows.
These initiatives are essential steps in maintaining a secure, modern learning environment. Nothing is more important than making Gesu a safe place to learn, work, and pray.
Click here to make a one-time or recurring gift. You may also send a check to the parish office. Thank you for your generosity! |

In the book of Genesis, we learn that God created man and woman in his image, reminding us that every person is sacred and reflects the God’s love. Each of us has a purpose, woven into God's plan. As children of God, all people deserve respect and care—especially those who are most vulnerable. When we reflect on the challenges faced by our sisters and brothers in Ghana, Guatemala and Timor-Leste, we see how their resilience and courage helped them overcome adversity. Their stories remind us to treat every person with dignity and compassion. As we continue our Lenten journey, let us reflect on these Stories of Hope and consider where we fit into their broader story. Visit crsricebowl.org/week-5 to learn more.
