Save the date for next year's Saints and Scholars dinner celebrating Catholic education in the Diocese of Austin on Saturday, January 14, 2023 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Austin. This annual awards ceremony and dinner honors the “unsung” heroes at each of our 20 Catholic schools while raising the much-needed funds for each school in support of their tuition assistance programs for students and their families. Since 2009 over $1.6M has been returned to our schools. We hope you'll ~
Give the gift of an icon to the new St. Austin Catholic School community. As part of our development, we will install fine art icons, meaningful to the Paulists and our school community, on each floor of our new building. Donors will be recognized with a plaque below the icon. The works of art and plaques will be displayed in the new building for decades to come. Artist Nick Markellis painting these as they are commissioned. Many will recognize his iconography from the St. Augustine of Canterbury icon in the church and featured in church materials.
An icon of St. Paul has already been commissioned. St. Peter, St. Augustine, St. Phoebe, St. Mary Magdalene, St. Mary, Mother of God and Servant of God, Isaac Hecker are available for selection. The cost of each icon is $7,500, and will remain a lasting gift from your family to the future families at St. Austin Catholic School. Icons may be commissioned through Tiffany Sims [email protected] or 512-477-3751 (school office).

You may have noticed the uptick in traffic and commotion around town as schools resumed for the year. Our St. Austin Catholic School is back in full swing at its temporary location just a little south of here on the San José Church campus. There are a few challenges of being in rented space during our construction. One of those is creating a modern school campus, with all of its specialized needs, on a decades-old site. Enhanced campus security has been identified as a priority. The school administration would like to augment its already tight security procedures with even more tools. Today, I ask you to be as generous as possible, and to support the second collection for enhanced security equipment at our parish school. These funds will help St. Austin Catholic School families continue to enjoy a quality Catholic education in a safe and nurturing environment. With your support, the School will continue the century-old tradition of educating a diverse community of students and future leaders. Please use any of the methods available on our giving page to make your gift - let us know by marking it SACS in Memo or For when giving by check, Venmo, or online or use the button below to use the school's online giving platform.
