I hope this message finds you enjoying a safe and wonderful Easter Break!  Take this time to rest, recharge and soak in the blessings of the season.  Let us all return after this break refreshed and ready to continue to grow in knowledge, faith and love as we prepare for a strong finish to this school year!  

AMDG,
Mrs. Regan Kazel

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!
