St. Bernard of Clairvaux Parish Scottsdale recently issued the following announcement.

Howdy, 

I received a letter from Catholic Education Arizona with some important news that I want to share with you. 

They write: We are excited to share we have been ranked #1 of 65 STOs (School Tuition Organizations) in Arizona and #8 by the Phoenix Business Journal for Largest Education/Cultural Non-Profit organizations in Phoenix. For 23 years we have assisted 138,000 students with $268 million of tuition support. To learn about student success stories, subscribe to our monthly newsletter at www.ceaz.org. Our Arizona Catholic Schools are proud to share:  99% graduation rate; 97% of graduates matriculate to higher education or military service Students from 37 schools perform thousands of hours of community service annually. If you are a parishioner who owns a business—the Arizona Low-Income Corporate Tax Credit is STILL available for Tax Year 2020. The tax year began with $123 million credit dollars available, and currently there is approximately $23 million remaining. The Low-Income Corporate Tax Credit Commitment form can be completed and returned to us for processing and submittal to the ADOR. Please call our Chief Development Officer, Deb Preach or Finance Manager, Caitlin Wooten with questions 602-218-6542. Our students are diverse in culture, background, and ability and are given the tools to thrive because of the support received from leading organizations such as yours. 

Having been pastor of a school that depended on tuition tax credit scholarships, I want to encourage you to support Catholic Education Arizona, changing lives one scholarship at a time. 

In Christ, 

Fr. Mike
