Our Parish - Parish Funds - Education Scholarship Fund

In recognition of Father Louis B. LaPres, who demonstrated his love for Catholic education and Saint Thomas Aquinas who is the patron saint of academics, Catholic schools, colleges and universities, learning, scholars, students and theologians.

"Grant me, O Lord my God, a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct pleasing to you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you, and a hope of finally embracing you."

--Saint Thomas Aquinas

A person requesting assistance must be a GMCS student with a maintained grade point average of 2.5 or higher and a good discipline record; must demonstrate financial need; be a registered parishioner at St. Francis de Sales Parish, and demonstrate a strong personal Catholic faith based on their behavior and activities.
