Giving Week 2022

Thank you for giving!

We are tremendously inspired by the excitement of our friends and supporters, and are pleased to announce that you contributed $43,987 to St. Jerome Institute!

Dear Friends of the St. Jerome Institute, 

The feast of St. Padre Pio marks the beginning of St. Jerome Institute’s annual Giving Week!

Just over three years ago, the founders of SJI transformed an ambitious education plan into a fully operational classical liberal arts high school with our first class of fifteen students. This year, we welcomed four full classes of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors to experience an SJI education. The excitement we feel today is indicative of the tone, energy, and momentum that has defined SJI since its founding.

As we begin this new school year, we remember the beautiful community that surrounds us and supports us. During Giving Week especially, we are grateful for a community that was inspired by the SJI mission: the Society for the Renewal of the Catholic Mind.

It became apparent a few years ago that we were being called to share the formation and opportunities available to the immediate SJI school community with a broader audience, which is why we formed the Society for the Renewal of the Catholic Mind. This Giving Week especially, we invite SJI friends and supporters to join the Society, which offers a forum to advance your own education by considering the fundamental questions that have animated history. The majority of our current donors are enrolled as members of the Society. Clearly, this is a vibrant group supporting our school!

In conclusion, I ask that you please join me in praying that our SJI students will receive a banquet of graces on their journey to sanctity. We are all bound together by the same purpose: to provide the young men and women entrusted to our care with an opportunity to consider things of beauty. Thank you for supporting SJI in this great mission!

In Domino,

Peter Crawford

Headmaster
