The SCB Alumni Association wishes to thank the family of Elma May Fabre for suggesting Memorial Donations to the SCB School Endowment Fund in lieu of flowers in her obituary. This kind gesture has added over $3000 to the school endowment. What a beautiful expression of faith in the value of Catholic education for past, present, and future generations. Gifts to our endowment fund are NEVER SPENT but rather invested to generate revenue for our school into perpetuity.

What is a Qualified Charitable Contribution? Generally, a qualified charitable contribution is an otherwise taxable distribution from an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) owned by an individual who is age 70½ or over that is paid DIRECTLY from the IRA to a qualified charity. Many of our parishioners have inquired about this and several are already taking advantage of this possible tax-free opportunity. Of course, discuss this with your CPA or tax accountant to confirm the benefits of this program.
