St. Irenaeus Parish School is the beneficiary of a gift from the estate of Evelyn Hughes in the amount of $290,000, designated to be used for tuition assistance. Mrs. Hughes wanted her bequest to be used to help children receive a good education in a faith-filled environment.
St. Irenaeus does not know how this generous benefactor was connected to the school, but is very thankful for her contribution. Mrs. Hughes not only left money to St. Irenaeus, but to another school as well. An endowment will be created through the Orange Catholic Foundation for this most gracious gift, and the interest will benefit students for the life of the school.
St. Irenaeus Parish School is committed to keeping tuition affordable for any family who wishes to send their children there. Remembering the school in your will or estate plan is an easy way to help make this possible for future generations.
