Campaign guidance and facilitation is being provided by the Institute of School and Parish Development (ISPD), a national Development consulting firm serving Catholic schools, parishes and dioceses, based in New Orleans.

“With the theme of the campaign being ‘Investing In Our Children, Securing Our Future,’ it is our hope that the community will rally around this dynamic vision.

Now is the right time and we invite parishioners, parents, alumni, businesses, friends and families to support this worthy project,” responded Kim Bourgeois, Campaign Chairperson.
