The Advancement Committee’s purpose is threefold: to build awareness and acceptance for Saint Stephen School, to seek and retain students for the school, and to obtain financial support in order to provide the additional resources necessary to remain on the cutting edge of quality Catholic Education.

We need volunteers! The four fundamental areas you can volunteer for are:

  1. Public Relations: Market St. Stephen School and promote Catholic Education. Publish quarterly newsletters and distribute press releases through local media resources.
  2. Annual Fund: Inform parents, parishioners, alumni, friends, and businesses about the school and appeal for broad based financial support. Volunteers assist in a direct mail campaign, phonathon, and major donor solicitation.
  3. Alumni Relations: Communicate with alumni to renew interest and generate support. Volunteers can assist as class agents, update the alumni address database, and plan alumni special events.
  4. Student Recruitment and Retention: Recruit and retain students served by the school. Produce and distribute school brochures, send letters/greeting cards to prospective new students, host parent information nights, call new students and families to welcome them to the school, sponser a school “open house”.
