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. ANNE SCHOOL IN SANTA ANA 
For over 70 years, students at St. Anne School have received a high-quality education in a safe, faith-filled learning environment. The dedicated and passionate staff have been paving the path to a brighter future for not only their students but also their families. Children often enter St. Anne School speaking little or no English and may already be two or more academic grade levels below their peers. Within months, many students see significant growth and their academic success continues in high school and college. St. Anne School also provides innovative technology in the classroom, an exceptional choir and mariachi band, and, most importantly, helps students develop a love for their Catholic faith and a lasting relationship with God. 

WHY SPONSOR A STUDENT AT ST. ANNE SCHOOL IN SANTA ANA? 
Your generosity could be the answer to a family's prayer—opening the door for their children to attend St. Anne Catholic School in Santa Ana. The average cost to educate a student in our Catholic elementary schools is $10,000. Similar to many schools in economically vulnerable neighborhoods, St. Anne’s tuition is $5,400 per student. Families struggle to enroll their children because their per capita income is $26,207. As a result, St. Anne’s enrollment has dropped to 209 students — leaving 115 seats available. Providing scholarships ensures growth and enhances the long-term sustainability of St. Anne Catholic School in the community.  

BECOME A STUDENT SPONSOR
The most direct way to help is to lessen the financial burden through scholarships. Your contribution to St. Anne School saves souls and creates a legacy of faith. Please prayerfully consider:
$1,000 – Educate a student for a month 
$5,400 – 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
