SBS 2026 We Give Catholic Aims For Cooler Classrooms With Warm Hearts And Strong Faith.

“The times we are going through are difficult because cruel persecution of the Church is raging. But you bold and good young people should not be afraid of this small thing; remember that the Church is a divine institution and cannot come to an end. She will last till the end of the world. Not even the gates of hell can prevail against her.” – Pier Giorgio Frassati

NORTH OLMSTED, OH – While the below message from St. Brendan’s school is for parents & guardians of the students, I personally feel that the entire community can get involved and help and that is why I wanted to share it.  My children have been blessed to attend this wonderful school for the last 7 plus years and I cannot say enough good things about how it has helped grow their faith, confidence and educated them.  SBS is a great school and if we can all give a little in a few weeks, it will go a long way!

We’re a close knit community at SBS and while that is great, we don’t always have the “man power” of enrollment numbers to boost big financial numbers like neighboring parishes may have.  With that being said, I always want to put the word out into the community because it never hurts to help, give back and let these children know you believe in them and their future.

Press Release Per St. Brendan’s School Principal Julie Onacila

Dear Parents & Guardians,

Giving Tuesday is only 3 weeks away.  Our goal came from parent, faculty and student feedback and directly impacts every child, every classroom, and every family in our school community.  Our school goal is to bring air conditioning into your child’s classrooms.

Giving Tuesday is December 1.  We will have incentive hours for giving on this date as well as the Diocese will host power hours where we can win additional monetary gifts throughout the day.

Our goal is to raise $58,000 ($580 per family) which would air-condition half of the classrooms.  The stretch goal, the full cost of the project, is $116,000 ($1,160 per family).

We need YOU, our parents/guardians and families to step up and make this campaign a priority. Our school community is strongest when we come together, and this is one of those moments when we need all of you.

Let’s make it happen!  Thank you!

Julie Onacila
