Father Tony Creane created the Growing Tree Endowment Fund for St. Mary’s Parish School in 1990 with the goal of $565,000. The plan was earmark 35% to the endowment, 35% for improvements to the physical plan, 20% to educational needs, and 10% to cafeteria enhancement. Within a year we raised $200,000, and we reached our goal in 1992.
The Endowment Fund provided windows for the high school in 1989 and for the parish school in 1990, among many other projects to date. We further established two annual events to provide additional funding: our golf tournament, which started in 1990, and our auction, which started in 1993. Today, all funds donated to St. Mary’s Parish School through our 1898 Society also contribute to the Growing Tree Endowment Fund.
