Dear Friends of Butler Catholic:

Since the late 1780’s, the United States has been blessed with a school system based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. From very meager resources, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, supported by Bishop John Carroll of Baltimore, began teaching children about their faith as well as how to read, write, and do math in an environment that fostered an awareness of God’s presence.

To continue that strong tradition, Butler Catholic School was formed from the population of Saints Michael, Paul and Peter parishes in 1969, with additions of the families from St. Andrew and St. Fidelis parishes a few years later. The location was the expansive structure of St. Paul School. For the past 41 years, our students have grown in their knowledge of and living out of their faith as well as maintaining high academic performance.

We are at a “crossroad” right now. The structure being used was constructed in 1947 and has the original functional structures. Many of these 63-year old parts need replaced or updated. The “Nolan Fund” may not be used for any physical improvements, renovations, construction, etc.

Your help will lead us to the fulfillment of our goals. I realize that the economy is not the greatest at this time, but yet, it has been proven that when things seem at their worst, that is when we do our best. Your contributions are completely tax-deductible and will be used for improvements and renovations to Butler Catholic School.

Our top three “musts” are:

Your contribution of $10 a month will greatly help us fulfill our task. Of course, if you are blessed to give more, you will not be refused. Whatever your contribution, please know that it is received with our deepest gratitude and a promise of special remembrance in our daily prayers.  May our Provident God surround you with His very special blessings, filling your lives with His loving peace.

Gratefully,
Sister John Ann Mulhern
Butler Catholic School Principal
