The new “Catholic Schools Sister Parish Initiative” opens the door for partnerships to be built among the faith-filled communities of four Catholic schools and 16 parishes in Orange County, CA. The initiative is supported by Bishop Kevin W. Vann and The Orange Catholic Foundation (OCF).

GET TO KNOW ST. JUSTIN MARTYR SCHOOL IN ANAHEIM
For nearly 65 years, students at St. Justin Martyr School have received a high-quality education in a safe, Christ-centered learning environment. The passionate staff is dedicated to developing children who will become responsible citizens and are grounded in their Catholic faith. Every year, St. Justin Martyr School students grow academically, making them life-long learners and effective communicators who continue to excel in high school and beyond. Through athletics and student council, children learn how to have a heart for service and leadership. Most importantly, weekly Mass and daily classroom devotionals help students develop their own personal relationship with God and shape their Catholic values for years to come.

WHY SPONSOR A STUDENT AT ST. JUSTIN MARTYR SCHOOL IN ANAHEIM? 
The average cost to educate a student in our Catholic elementary schools is $10,000. Similar to other Catholic schools in Orange County, St. Justin Martyr’s tuition is $7,200 per student. Families struggle to enroll their children because Anaheim has a per capita income of $29,012. As a result, St. Justin Martyr’s enrollment has dropped to 230 students—leaving nearly 100 seats available.

BECOME A STUDENT SPONSOR 
The most direct way to help is to lessen the financial burden of Catholic education through scholarships. Your contribution to St. Justin Martyr School in Anaheim saves souls and creates a legacy of faith. Please prayerfully discern the following:
• $1,000 – Educate a student for a month 
• $7,200 – Sponsor a year of tuition for a student 
• $10,000 – Underwrite the full cost of a student for one year 
• $100,000 – Establish an endowment in your family’s name or for that of a loved one, where, annually, 5% of the fund will underwrite a student’s tuition in perpetuity
