Foundation
The St. Francis of the Lakes School Foundation is beginning a new chapter to ensure the strength and vitality of our school. What started with funds being raised to meet the immediate needs of the school is now growing into a permanent source of financial support. The St. Francis of the Lakes Catholic School Foundation Endowment Fund is a continuation of the original vision — a way to secure Catholic education for generations to come. Catholic education is a vital part of our community, forming students who will become the future leaders of our Church, our cities, and our businesses. With your support of the endowment fund, this legacy of faith and learning will grow and flourish for years ahead.
