BE AN ANGEL IN 2025!
Donations to the Angel Scholarship Fund (ASF) helped make it possible for our parishes and schools to raise more than $6.7 million in the 2023 tax year, and for a growing number of families to receive tuition assistance for their children to attend a high-quality Catholic school. We encourage all Ohio taxpayers to consider making an ASF donation that may be eligible for the state tax credit when filing a 2024 Ohio tax return.
