The Catholic Schools Consortium provides much needed support to urban diocesan schools. Where these schools do receive some support from their parish and surrounding community, the reality is, due to the area demographics, the means in most cases simply do not exist.

Through grant funding and support from corporations and individuals, the Consortium will provide funding to urban diocesan schools, for such things as teachers, enhanced and strengthened curriculum, support materials in the areas of math, science, reading etc., after school programs, physical education, and the arts. Funding will also be provided to ensure each school maintains a quality and safe educational facility.

The Catholic Schools Consortium has recently assessed all member schools and identified Language Arts, Technology, Art, Physical Education, Beautification/Clean up, and Security as immediate  funding initiatives. By immediately focusing on these initiatives, we move even closer to our goal of providing educational excellence for all students.
 

Current members of the Consortium are:
St. Anthony School, Oakland, CA
St. Bernard School, Oakland, CA
St. Jarlath School, Oakland, CA
St. Cornelius School, Richmond, CA
 

 

Your contribution will immediately impact hundreds of school children and will assist in providing support for such things as, teachers, educational support materials, after school programs, physical education and music, as well as many other areas of operation, education, and support.
