The Diocese of Shreveport and the Diocesan Office of Catholic Schools has partnered with Arete Scholars, and we want to personally invite you to an upcoming Mass and breakfast, where we will pray together for Catholic education while we also learn how easy it is to use your personal or business tax dollars for scholarships to our Catholic schools.
We hope you’ll save the date of Friday, October 17th for a Mass led by Bishop Francis Malone and a breakfast to follow, hosted by our friends, Arete Scholars, a non-profit organization that this past school year provided 1,661 scholarships to students-in-need across Louisiana. Fifty of these scholarship recipients attended a school within the Diocese of Shreveport!
At breakfast, you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about how Arete is changing lives in our Catholic community through the gift of educational freedom and how a unique 95% state tax credit allows for any Louisiana individual or business to transform their state tax dollars through Arete into a lifechanging scholarship to attend a Catholic school within the Diocese of Shreveport.
To RSVP, please email Arete’s Louisiana Development Director, Andrew Martin, with your name and the name of your guest, if you would like to bring one. Andrew’s email is [email protected]
