A second collection will be taken up at Masses at all parishes in the Diocese of Fall River this weekend (Sept. 13-14) to support financial scholarships for students attending a Catholic school in the Diocese. The scholarships are distributed through FACE, the Foundation to Advance Catholic Education.
FACE (formerly known as the St. Mary’s Education Fund) has been providing scholarships for children in Diocese of Fall River Catholic schools since 1991.
FACE has distributed over $21 million in scholarship aid to thousands of students since it began as St. Mary’s Education Fund!
Each year, FACE awards over $1.2 Million to more than 1,000 students from New Bedford to South Yarmouth, Attleboro to Acushnet, Fall River to Mansfield, Hyannis to North Dartmouth, and Fairhaven to North Attleboro.
A donation to the special collection taking place the weekend of September 13th and 14th will help continue this proud mission of giving students opportunities to grow in educational environments dedicated to helping them develop their God-given potential.
