Six parishes geographically and demographically diverse within the Diocese of Phoenix are planned to participate in the program.

2 NEW SPONSORS for Christian Service Scholars:
Edward V. and Jane Anne O’Malley and Howard & Rhea Linsenmeyer have established scholarships through their endowment funds at the Foundation. The scholarship committee has been hard at work reviewing the 120 applications that were received by the deadline of November 15th. Scholarship recipients will be announced the first week in April. Each recipient will be awarded up to an $8,000 scholarship payable over four years. The scholarship will be applied toward tuition at a Catholic high school in the Diocese of Phoenix. Funding for the Christian Service Scholarship program is made possible thanks to the generosity of many contributors who have established perpetual funds through the Foundation.

In addition to the O’Malley and Linsenmeyer scholarships this year, there will be four Rev. Philip J. Poirier Scholarships; two Michael & Sheila Geddes Scholarships; a Phyllis Anderson Scholarship; and a Doug and Micaela Patterson Scholarship. Please keep these special individuals and families in your prayers. To find out how you can become a part of this legacy, contact the Foundation today at 602.288.2926.
