Children's Annual Appeal



The Children's Annual Appeal Fund was created to help "bridge the gap" between what we charge for tuition and the actual cost to operate the school. Our goal for 2025 is to raise $55,000 to assist with financial aid, and ensure our school has the latest in educational materials, the highest level of safety and our campus has all the necessary improvements. With your help, our students will go on to do great things! A quality education, formed in faith and strengthened by an amazing community allows our children to soar!

Monsignor Cloos Educational Assistance Fund

On December 31, 2023, Illinois Invest in Kids, a need-based scholarship helping families send their children to private schools, ended. Over 40% of St. John’s students were part of the Illinois Invest in Kids program and we lost approximately $370,000 in funding. The Monsignor Cloos Educational Assistance Fund is being used to help those that lost financial aid from the state of Illinois. With your help, St. John the Baptist Catholic School can stay open and can continue to grow. Please prayerfully consider donating to make tuition affordable for St. John’s families in need.
