Cornerstone Breakfast & Veritas Society
Cornerstone Breakfast
While it’s great to share the good things going on at OLMC with strangers, we always look forward to having many of our benefactors and friends join us for the Cornerstone Breakfast at the end of November. Each year, our 8th graders serve a complimentary breakfast and visit with parishioners, parents, and members of our community, while our other students provide some entertainment. It is a joy to let our students show for themselves the ways they learn and grow in faith and knowledge throughout their years at OLMC. The Cornerstone Breakfast is offered in conjunction with our annual fall appeal through the #iGiveCatholic Day of Giving.
Veritas Society
Veritas is the Latin word for “Truth,” and it has this name for two reasons:
- We always want you to remember that you are giving to our school to help students pursue truth.
- It is important for our school community to always remember that it is you who allow us to live out the mission and motto of our school, and make it accessible to many more families.
Our goal is for our students to graduate from our school with a better understanding and deeper desire to pursue truth, beauty and goodness. Members of our Veritas Society are committed to the same goal we are by making a monthly gift to our school.
As Mother Teresa famously said, “Not all of us can do great things. But we can all do small things with great love.” How would you like to do a small thing with great love? Consider joining the Veritas Society at OLMC School. Members of our Veritas Society make a commitment to give monthly to our school. Your monthly gift will be used where it is needed most – whether it is providing financial assistance to a family in need, covering the cost of new desks, or even helping our teachers develop their skills and knowledge in teaching, your monthly gifts allow us OLMC to continue being the special school that it is. When you join the Veritas Society, you will receive the quarterly “Living Faith” devotional. As you read through the Living Faith devotional, our hope is that you as your gift helps us grow in our mission that you also will grow more deeply in your faith.
The funds that members provide on a monthly basis will be used where the need is greatest at our school. From helping to close the gap of the actual tuition cost versus what families pay, to being used for special projects or emergency needs, the gifts made by members of our Veritas Society are vital to helping our school thrive.
