A heartfelt thank you to the entire St. Rita Catholic School community for welcoming us and hosting such a beautiful Mass to celebrate this historic milestone!

Your students and families are a living example of why we do what we do—and a powerful reminder of why our work continues. We are so grateful for your partnership and for helping make this special day so meaningful! 💚

A BIG WIN FOR CATHOLIC EDUCATION

St. Rita School was honored to host the Catholic Education Foundation (CEF) on October 15 for the announcement of an incredible milestone: $115 million raised to support tuition assistance and the future of Catholic education!

This historic achievement will help expand tuition assistance to serve 5,000 students across central Kentucky while strengthening the Foundation’s permanent endowment to support families for generations to come.

At St. Rita, 9 out of 10 students receive tuition assistance, making the CEF’s mission especially meaningful to our Mustang family.

Since 2014, the Foundation has stood by its promise: “The answer is yes.” We are grateful for the generosity of our community and everyone working to make Catholic education accessible to more families.

Together, we are investing in students, strengthening our schools, and building brighter futures!
