Soles for Catholic Education and La Sagrada Familia

Sign-up or donate to help support students in La Sagrada Familia in the Dominican Republic.

Welcome!

Child-At-ChalkboardOn Saturday, October 15, 2016 at Mount Mary University, the 4th annual “Soles for Catholic Education” Walk will take place to help raise money for Catholic Education in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.

Once again, Team La Sagrada Familia is taking part in the walk, and we will be raising funds to help students in the Dominican Republic.  This is a great opportunity to spread the word about La Sagrada Familia and to help students with school costs for supplies, transportation, and other fees.  (You can scroll down or click here to see the school costs for students in La Sagrada Familia)

You can support La Sagrada Familia in addition to supporting schools here in the Archdiocese!

Last year through general donors we raised nearly $3,000.  Every dollar raised helped offset expenses for uniforms, tuition, books and transportation for students in the Dominican Republic. This year our target is $3,000 and we need your help to meet this goal.

Children-With-BooksSign-Up!  Not signed up to help with the Catholic Schools Walk yet?  We need you!  Some team members will be walking and some will be helping staff the La Sagrada Familia tent so that we can share our story with walk participants.  It’s easy and free to sign up.  Simply go to our La Sagrada Familia Team Page and choose Join Team (from the right side menu).  Once signed up you can share information about the walk and ask for support from your family, friends and community.

Already Signed-Up?  Please donate!  We understand that many of you may already be signed up for the Walk with your own school group.  Thank you for your support of Catholic Education in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee!

La Sagrada Familia School Costs:

Children-In-ClassroomTwo Archdiocese of Milwaukee priests, Fr. Juan Manuel Camacho and Fr. Esteban Redolad, minister in the parish and help families to secure funds needed to pay for school supplies and fees.  While some of these fees may seem low by U.S. standards, it must be remembered that the families in La Sagrada Familia are often dealing with extreme financial hardships. Help from the parish to secure school supplies, pay fees, or obtain transportation might be the difference that allows a child to receive an education.
