Help PTC raise funds for Sacred Heart!
Volunteer at home anytime during the week of March 10-16.
PTC is helping CSCOE with volunteers for their Big Bang Catholic STEM Fair for a $5000 grant to support our school community!
The first request is to do preliminary judging of submissions during the week of March 10-16. CSCOE will divide submissions for review among the volunteers, provide a log-in and training, and then you submit your response to a few questions for each video assigned at your convenience anytime during that week. The more volunteers we have, the fewer videos each person will be assigned.
The second opportunity is to help set up Friday, April 12 at Visitation from 4-5:30.
The third opportunity is to help the day of the event on Saturday, April 13 from 7:30am-2:30pm.
Please help PTC secure this grant by signing up here:

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
It becomes a large bush
The small seed becomes a tree. It grows into an annual bush with treelike limbs. The average height is between four and five feet tall. Along the Sea of Galilee, it may even grow to be nine to ten feet tall. He proposed another parable to them. “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a person took and sowed in a field.It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown, it is the largest of plants. It becomes a large bush, and the ‘birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.’” – Matthew 13:31-32
Need help paying for tuition?
MN Fundraising Initiative (MNFI) secures contracts with over 23 venues in the greater Twin Cities area including Target Field, Target Center, Canterbury, and US Bank to operate food and beverage concessions stands at their events.
MNFI organizes teams of volunteers from all over the state of MN and WI who work together to run these stands. In turn, MNFI receives donations from these venues. The donations are then used to award grants to families in local communities to allow youth to attend private school, such as Sacred Heart Catholic School and participate in enrichment activities they may not otherwise be able to enjoy. Checks are mailed directly to Sacred Heart in your name.
Many of our school families use this organization to help pay for tuition.
