Stewardship - Help Our Students Stay in Our Schools

By now, you have heard the very unfortunate news that the Illinois legislature decided that the Invest in Kids tax credit scholarship program will terminate on December 31, 2023. 

For 83 years, Queen of All Saints School has provided students a high-quality, faith-based education that prepares them to lead, not just in our local communities but in the broader national and global communities in which our graduates contribute their talents. While our parish continues to provide the largest share of support by far to all families attending our school, in recent years the tax credit scholarship program has also provided need-based tuition assistance to families committed to a Catholic education.

In previous years you may have supported the tax credit program through Empower Illinois or Big Shoulders. Now that the legislature has decided to eliminate the good work performed by these groups we must not stand still.

The call for need-based scholarships for Catholic school students is greater than ever. The most effective way for you to support them now is to make a donation to the Archdiocese of Chicago Scholarship Fund. Donations can be made at www.archchicago.org/scholarships and can be directed to Queen of All Saints School or to any other school in the Archdiocese where the need is greatest.

Remember, gifts to this program:   

• Are 100% tax deductible (as allowable by law)  
• Can be directed to individual schools or directed to the highest-need schools 
• Can be made online at: www.archchicago.org/scholarships 

If you designate Queen of All Saints School as your recipient, we will receive 100% of your donation.

With your help, all our students can stay in our school next year. Please take a moment to contribute now.
