From ST. ALOYSIUS CATHOLIC SCHOOL
March will be a busy month at St. Aloysius Catholic School. Not only did it honor the birthday of its patron, St. Aloysius of Gonzaga, the parish will celebrating the Triduum of Holy Week (Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday), culminating in Easter Sunday on April 1.
The parish will also host its major fundraising event for the year—the Reverse Raffle – on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17. Ticket sales are already underway for the event, which takes place in BGSU’s Ballroom.
Those interested in purchasing tickets can visit https://stalbg.weshareonline.org/. All proceeds directly benefit the students of St. Aloysius.
Sponsored by the St. Aloysius Parent Association, the annual Reverse Raffle raises funds for St. Aloysius students and building infrastructure.
Since 2001, the event has raised over $260,000 for the school. Some of the improvements made possible by past Reverse Raffle profits have included new playground equipment, teacher computers, iPad adaptors, Bluetooth speakers, Instant Alert system for communicating with parents and guardians, library circulation software, and more.
This year’s funds will be dedicated to technology and new hallway flooring for the school.
