~ Prayers & Assistance for a FAMILY in Need ~
A school family from Huntington Catholic lost many of their belongings in a recent house fire.

SGO (Scholarship Granting Organization)
SHOW THIS TO YOUR TAX PREPARER!
There is a terrific way to get a large tax break and support our parishes and school through donations to our diocesan SGO (“Scholarship Granting Organization”). The SGO of Northeast Indiana (www.sgonei.org) supports Huntington Catholic School.
Tax Credit The state tax credit makes an SGO contribution especially attractive to donors. In addition to the potential Federal tax deduction for charitable contributions, SGO donations are eligible for a 50% State of Indiana Tax Credit.
Where your Donation Goes Your donation to the SGO of Northeast Indiana designating Huntington Catholic School as the recipient is used to help families with financial need with their tuition costs. Please note that we receive your entire contribution. For example, if you contribute $1000 to our school, we receive $1000 to give as tuition assistance, even though you still get $500 back as a state tax credit.
This seems too good to be true. How it is possible? The State of Indiana has encoded this into law in order to encourage private investment in education.
How Do I Donate? – You can donate online at
https://app.sgonei.org/donations/new
Our school’s Principal, Derek Boone, is available to answer questions and can assist with the donation process. dboone@huntingtoncatholic.org
Please consider making a donation which greatly benefits our school and parishes!
"VBS Director" Needed for the Summer of 2025
We are looking for someone to direct our Vacation Bible School this summer. Drew Stuart will not be able to direct this year because he’ll need to undergo Achilles tendon surgery in May and recovery time is 8+ weeks. If we cannot find a director, we may not be able to have VBS. It will either be the last or second to last week in June, depending on what works best for the director.
Since 2019, we’ve used OSV’s Totally Catholic VBS, which includes a kit that makes directing the VBS simpler. Drew can provide a list of previous volunteers, offer guidance to the new director, and help with ordering items. If the director would like to try another VBS, other options can be discussed.
If you have any questions or are willing to help, please contact Drew Stuart at 260-224-0522.
Thanking God ahead of time that His Light may shine before all!
