Saints & Scholars

Since 2009, the 20 Catholic school communities of the Diocese of Austin have gathered every January to celebrate National Catholic Schools Week, honor an unsung hero from each of their communities and raise funds in support of tuition assistance programs. Since 2020 has been a rollercoaster of a ride and we don't know what the beginning of 2021 holds in store for us, the Office of Catholic Schools will host a very special VIRTUAL event this year to achieve the same goals.

This year, the Virtual Talent Showcase will replace our beloved gala, but promises to remain as joyful and inspiring as it has always been. We will still recognize honorees from every school and raise funds to provide tuition assistance for families who need it - which as you can imagine, the needs have increased exponentially. 

We are excited to showcase our talented students, teachers and priests.

We are also excited to have Bishop Bill Wack, CSC, from the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee, and former pastor of St. Ignatius Martyr Church and School in Austin, as our keynote for the evening.

We hope you are able to join us!

There are many ways to support this year's event:
1. With your prayers
2. With your participation
3. With your donations

All of the proceeds raised through this event will go back to the schools. Thank you for supporting this important ministry of hope for the future of our church.

More information on the event schedule, live stream link, and other details are forthcoming.
