Donations

Cathedral School of St. Mary's goal is to enrich all our students spiritually, academically, and socially by fostering a diverse community through, with and in the teachings of Jesus Christ. As part of the Austin Diocese and as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, Cathedral School of St. Mary shares the mission of the Catholic Schools of Texas to provide excellence in education inside the framework of Christian belief and Catholic doctrine. Our students are encouraged and challenged to meet high standards within a context of Christian love and service. We are committed to providing our students a superior academic climate, a loving and supportive school community and opportunities to celebrate cultural diversity.

Despite the fact that we are under-resourced, Cathedral School of St. Mary provides a strong academic climate. The faith-based curriculum enables children to grow as future leaders and members of the Catholic Church and our society. Our annual tuition does not cover the actual cost of educating each student. To compensate the difference, Cathedral School of St. Mary offers a variety of fundraisers which include our PTC Gift Wrap Sale, Golf Tournament, Annual Fall Festival, Fun Run and our most exciting event of the year, the Annual Gala. Private donations and a minimal amount of grant writing are also efforts made to help support our Annual Budget.

It is only through such help and generosity that we are able to continue to provide an excellent Catholic education to our children. Your profound generosity will make a difference in the lives of many young students.
