Hyannis, MA – [August 2024] – St. John Paul II School is proud to announce the receipt of a $20,000 grant from the Lyndon Paul Lorusso Charitable Foundation. This generous one-year grant will provide need-based financial aid to students, enabling them to receive a quality education rooted in the Catholic tradition.
The financial assistance this grant provides will make it possible for students who previously faced financial barriers to attend St. John Paul II School. This opportunity is crucial not only for their academic success but also for their spiritual and moral development. The education they receive here will equip them with a strong foundation that will guide them throughout their lives.
“We are deeply grateful to the Lyndon Paul Lorusso Charitable Foundation for their generous support,” said John Redding, Head of School. “This grant allows us to continue our mission of providing a faith-based, college preparatory education to students who otherwise could not afford a Catholic education. By fostering a community of faith and service, we are shaping future leaders who are prepared to make positive contributions to society.”
The Lyndon Paul Lorusso Charitable Foundation’s commitment to supporting education and the development of young minds is evident through its generous grant.
