Catholic Schools
Deeply rooted in Catholic social justice teaching, we believe that all children have a right to an integral and quality education. This belief was also a conviction of our founder Gerry Rauenhorst and to this end we endeavor to support K-12 Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis reach their fullest potential.
