Sr. Mary Zucca Education Foundation
-
In the summer of 2000, Sr. Mary Zucca celebrated her 80th birthday. To recognize that milestone and honor her for more than 55 years of service and dediation to the ministry of Catholic education, the Sister Mary Zucca Education Foundation was established with an Inaugural dinner on September 23, 2000.
Now dedicated to honoring her mission and her memory by continuing her good works, the Foundation has been blessed with the generosity of more than 2000 individual and organizational donations over the past 18 years. Since the foundation's principal mission is to support the education ministries of Holy Redeemer Parish, we have proudly distributed nearly $to the following ministries:- Holy Redeemer School (until its closing in June 2016)
- Holy Redeemer Parish Faith Formation Programs (CCD)
- Catholic Youth Ministry (CYM)
- Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (R.C.I.A.)
- Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults Adapted for Children (R.C.I.C.)
- Adult Faith Formation
Through the generosity of our contributors, we have been able to provide immediate support to all these ministries through the purchase of computers, office and sound system equipment, classroom instructional tools, and providing funds for tuition assistance. At the same time we continue to work toward our long-term goal of sustained growth.
