Attention All 8th Graders
To assist families of students considering Catholic High School for their 8th grade students, Blessed Sacrament Parish offers The Fr. White Scholarship which was established to pay tribute to Rev. John White, pastor of St. Bernard Church from 1971 to 2004 and a priest we all admired and loved. Perhaps he is best known for the energy and love he gave to promoting good Catholic education.
To be eligible for this $3,000 Scholarship ($1,500 for 9th grade, $500 for each subsequent year of Catholic High School upon submission of a follow up letter each year), the student must currently be attending the Blessed Sacrament Parish Faith Formation program and entering 9th grade at a Catholic High School.
