An Invitation & An AppealFrom the Students of St. Austin Catholic School
-
The Invitation!
On December 11, we will host Santa Eddie’s Winter Color Run and Advent SingSong. Because we are still in the middle of the pandemic, we looked for ways to preserve our community spirit by hosting, in-person, two of our much-loved events outdoors - Grand Tour and Advent Cantata.
After the Advent SingSong we will run around the San Jose Campus for pledges and donations. Some of us will even complete a full 5K.And, please come visit us at San Jose!! We look forward to showing you around.

Our Appeal
A lot has changed over the past century in our school, parish, city and in our world. This year our School made a big change to a temporary home at San Jose Parish.
Still, a lot stays the same. Our teachers continue to provide strong academics, our Paulist Fathers teach us to welcome families from diverse backgrounds and most importantly our school reaches far into our community to offer a safe and peaceful environment in a very busy city.
In short, our parish school is a unique community that shows generosity of spirit, a dedication to faith-based learning and values kindness towards those less fortunate.
Did you know that each year, between 15 and 18 percent of our families receive tuition assistance? Or that we host monthly fundraisers for our community-based organizations, such as St. Vincent de Paul, Tuesday Outreach, St. Louise House and Casa Marianella?
You can help us reach our goal of $95,000 dollars by contributing to the second collection today. We hope you will consider making a gift that is meaningful for your family. Gifts can be made in the collection basket, by sending a check or by visiting the school website under special events. You can also send a gift to the parish Venmo but don’t forget to say School in the memo.
This year 10% of the funds that we raise above our individual goals will support 3 St. Austin causes: The Christmas Basket Project, The Gabriel Project and In My Shoes, founded and run by Fr. Paolo’s sister-in-law.

Consider Giving Generously to The Annual Fund
-
St. Austin Catholic School is delighted to celebrate its 104th year "Shaping the Future" of students from many parts of the Austin-metro area, neighboring cities and indeed the world. The School, as with all our parish's ministries, depends on our annual fundraising campaigns to ensure its sustainability, the high level of academics it is known for and the enrichment opportunities it provides. Centered around the Paulist mission, St. Austin Catholic School provides a faith based education which "prepares students to be Christ-centered, academically strong moral community leaders."
This year, St. Austin Catholic School extended $130,000 in tuition assistance to families. Your continued support is needed as we traverse the hills, valleys and blind corners of the pandemic, the transition to a new campus and, for the second year in a row, the uncertainty of what the future holds for us to host large in-person events.
We ask that you please consider making your annual gift to our school or scan the QR Code provided here.

GREAT NEWS!
-
St. Austin Catholic School is delighted to announce that we awarded $130,000 in tuition assistance to families for the 2021-2022 school year to date. There are still some applications for support in the pipeline and we anticipate that the total tuition assistance awards for the school year will be closer to $150,000. This is approximately double the amount the School awarded last year. It has been made possible thanks in part to your continuing support of our school and its programs, by gifts through our Annual Fund that are restricted to Tuition Assistance, increased foundational support and special gifts made through the Diocese of Austin, especially the Celebrating Catholic Schools Gala.
As you know, this has been a difficult year for many families, and the need in our community has become exaggerated as a result of the pandemic. However, as always, our entire community has stepped up to help ensure that students of families who would otherwise be unable to afford a Catholic School education have a seat here at St. Austin. Gifts may be made to the school by check, stock or credit card. Visit our giving page for more information or to invest in our parish school.
St. Austin Catholic School prepares students to be Christ-centered, academically strong, moral community leaders through four core values, Honesty, Integrity, Dignity and Community. If you or anyone you know is considering a Catholic education for your Pre-K3 through 8th Grade children, please visit our admissions page for more information. We're delighted to welcome a very diverse body of students from approximately 40 ZIP codes, 4 counties, and many families making the transition to Austin.
Eddie's eMmazing Race (Grand Tour #32) was a huge success! God ensured that He opened a weather window for us on Saturday morning and we completed all the festivities, in community, before the deluge. Thank you for your support of our students, with prayers, pledges and sponsorships. We look forward to sharing the results of our annual student-led fundraiser with you by the end of the month.
A special note of thanks is extended to our entire parish - donors, volunteers, and prayer community - for all your support. It is recognized and appreciated.

Eddie's eMazing Race 2021

Dear St. Austin Families:
St. Austin Catholic School is in its 103rd year of preparing Christ-centered, academically strong, moral community leaders. The school is the largest ministry of this active parish since 1917, when the Dominican Sisters of Houston purchased a small house on San Antonio street and moved their school to it.
Many things have changed over the past century. Students, pastors, staff and families come and go, facilities and curricula change, Austin itself has changed drastically, so too has the world. Change really is the only constant! And so, more changes are on the way as the School makes a pilgrimage to a temporary location on San José Catholic Parish campus in just a month and a half and back again in a couple of years.
Despite these transformations,-
the teachers continue the Dominican traditions of powerful academic programming despite the Covid 19 pandemic - adapting and readapting to the ever-changing climate.
-
displaying our Paulist heritage by supporting the mission of our Paulist priests, welcoming families from diverse backgrounds, reaching far into our community and offering a safe and peaceful environment to an increasingly busy downtown.

St. Austin still fosters a unique sense of community, exhibits academic excellence, and values kindness to those less fortunate. For example, each year between 15 and 18 percent of the School’s families receive tuition assistance. They also host monthly fundraisers for our community-based organizations, such as St. Vincent de Paul, Tuesday Outreach, St. Louise House and Casa Marianella.
In three weeks, on May 1, the 32nd annual Grand Tour, named Eddie’s eMmazing Race this year, will take place. Eddie’s eMazing Race was dreamed up as the School and Parish sought ways to preserve our community through our traditional events, while also maintaining our social distance. The students and their families will race around Austin for pledges and donations, visiting many of our community’s iconic and historical locations. You can help them reach their goal of $95,000 by contributing to the second collection today.
$35 offers a student one hour of dedicated tutoring on their path to academic success
$100 covers the annual school supplies of a student on tuition assistance
$500 pays for a class to go on field trip
$1,250 pays for an annual subscription for the school to an online Math enrichment application
$2,500 would pay for an updated technology center in PK3 and PK4
$5,000 helps pay for up to 3 students on tuition assistance
$8,500 would pay a scholarship for one student
Giving back to our community is central to the missions and the future sustainability of both our School, and our Parish. We hope you will consider making a gift that is meaningful for your family today.

Eddie's eMazing Race!
