Giving

The school raises $200,000 a year. Here is where it goes.

Tuition does not cover the cost of educating a child here — it never has. The gap is closed by benefactors, alumni and families who give what they can.

Where gifts go

We have been blessed over the years with many generous gifts.

All financial donations are used to supplement our AdvancED curriculum, provide scholarships for students in need, keep our technology current, maintain our building so that we can continue to provide a safe and positive learning environment, and bring special programming and activities to our students and families.

We are so thankful for our benefactors, alumni and community members who have continued to support Holy Spirit School with their time, talent and treasure.

The Annual Msgr. McQuaid Golf Outing

Named for the pastor who spent twenty-eight years here.

Msgr. Eugene B. McQuaid became pastor of Holy Spirit Church in 1966. He faithfully served the people of God in Pequannock for twenty-eight years, until his retirement in June 1994. In recognition of his many accomplishments and in thanksgiving for his total dedication to the support of the parish school, this annual golf outing is named in his honour.

The event provides an opportunity for our supporters to enjoy a day on the golf course with all those who share a common interest in Holy Spirit School.

Why it matters$200,000
