Over twenty years ago, Jennifer Gasser approached Fr. Tim O’Neil and myself, with a vision to start a scholarship program for our high school seniors. Thank God for the past twenty years, this vision has been a reality. Our Saint Patrick Youth Scholarship program is blessed to award seventy-eight recipients with a total of $106,000 as to date.
Over the years these scholarship recipients have brought great honor to our parish as they journeyed through their lives. They have become air force pilots serving their country. They have entered the medical field serving in many capacities or have become outstanding businessmen and businesswomen. Many have started families raising their children in our Catholic traditions. What a wonderful testament to the great young people we have within our parish.
This scholarship has had its longevity thanks to your generosity. You have made a difference in these young people’s lives. On behalf of our board, I would like to convey our heart-felt thanks and gratitude.
Love,
Deacon John Bartos, Co-Director
Jennifer Gasser, Co-Director
