Alumni Appeal

Once again, your gift can make a difference through the St. Joseph & Gehlen Catholic Alumni Appeal. Parish and parental investments do not cover the entire cost of a student’s education. The gap is nearly 19%. 

The St. Joseph & Gehlen Catholic Alumni appeal funds the gap and provides the needed revenues to support the faculty, students, and the mission of Gehlen Catholic. Every gift this year is appreciated and is tax-deductible.
