The Future Saints Apostolate (FSA) is a new and growing community of faithful Catholics who, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, are committed to supporting Catholic education at St. Gabriel Classical Academy. Through community building, financial and spiritual commitments, members of the apostolate help ensure that all families have the resources they need when choosing Catholic education. Monies raised through membership, contributions and fundraising will go to assist eligible students up to $500 per calendar year.
Families with multiple children may be eligible for multiple awards. Awards will be determined upon recommendation of the principal with the approval of the Pastor.
3. Bishop’s Scholarship Fund
When you fill out the FACTS Grant and Aid Form, click on the box next to the Diocese of Colorado Springs for the Bishop’s Scholarship Fund. The Bishop’s Scholarship Fund aims to help families afford a Catholic education. Bishop Golka provides funds from the annual Diocesan Ministry Appeal and contributions from parishes across the diocese. We encourage all families who need financial assistance to apply; priority is given to K-8 families. Parents are asked to give back by establishing a strong partnership with the school to support the child’s education and by sharing their time and talents through volunteer opportunities.
