Support Social Justice Projects in Catholic Schools

At the heart of Catholic education is the call to serve others and promote justice for all. We believe that fostering a sense of social responsibility within our Catholic schools empowers students to live out their faith by serving their communities, embracing the marginalized, and promoting equality and justice.

As Pope Francis teaches, “The Church’s mission is to bring the good news of the Kingdom of God to all people” (Evangelii Gaudium). This mission includes caring for the poor, defending the oppressed, and working towards reconciliation. Our social justice initiatives help to make this vision a reality by funding programs that support the marginalized, promote equality, and advance community engagement within our Catholic school system.

Your donation can be a transformative act of love and compassion. Whether a one-time gift, a monthly contribution, a donation of stocks, or a pledge, your support will directly benefit the students, staff, and communities involved in these vital projects. Donations can be directed to the general fund or a specific school or project of your choice.

In addition, as we work toward healing and reconciliation, the CCEF is committed to incorporating Indigenous truth and reconciliation into our funding programs. By supporting these initiatives, you contribute to the ongoing journey of reconciliation with Indigenous communities, fostering understanding, respect, and collaboration in line with the teachings of Christ.

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in”
Matthew 25:35

Help us continue this important work. Your generosity makes a lasting impact on the lives of students and the future of our communities.
