A Catholic education has been valued by my family for as long as I can remember. We are so happy that in finding St. Columbkille, we can ensure that our kids are getting an outstanding Catholic education. I can think of no investment more important than my child's education, at a school where she is learning so much, has access to innovative technology, and where values of respect, kindness and hard work are reinforced in a wonderful environment.
The Race to Educate is the primary fundraiser for St. Columbkille. Funds from the race go directly to the school and help fund financial aid programs, teacher salaries, and physical plant improvements (in a 100+ year old building!), all of which are necessary to maintain the small, diverse classes that make St. Col's such a special place.
Any donation toward this fundraiser will help children in the greater Boston area get the education they need to help change the world.
Thank you for your support!
