Financial results of LaSalle Catholic Gala 2022. For the second year in a row, the LaSalle Catholic Gala (formerly the Holy Family Catholic Gala) chose to forego an in-person event and undertook a direct-mail fundraising campaign. You again responded to the call and generously supported tuition assistance for our families attending Lasalle Catholic. This year to date, $24, 167.03 of net income has been raised, bringing the two year direct-mail total to $52,554.83! Your support has allowed many of our families to begin, or to continue, their dream of quality, Catholic education for their children! THANK YOU! Our committee looks forward to shifting gears this summer to begin organizing the 2023 LaSalle Catholic Gala! This will be an in-person event, tentatively scheduled for February 3, 2023, location TBD! Mark your calendars today! We would love to have your help with this westside-parish sponsored event! Interested?? Email questions and/or your contact information to lasallecrgala@gmail.com and a current committee member will be in touch.
Our strategic plan has provided several positive outcomes. The most recent of these is the resurrection of two committees and the nativity of a new committee!
Kevin Brennan makes his third trip to Cedar Rapids to work with our teachers. This time teachers are working on creating specific lesson plans to teach each week on topics of social and emotional intelligence. Our teachers love working with Kevin, and our students are loving to learn 21st century skills!
This year's scripture theme could not be better timed. Our staff and students will find inspiration from Romans 5:5 as we will need to embody hope in the aftermath of the derecho coupled with the challenges of COVID-19.
Holy Family's innovative approach to "return to learn" earned us spotlights on KGAN, KCRG, the Catholic Witness, and even a mention in the National Catholic Education Association briefing! Click to view one of the stories.
