McMahon Parater Foundation

"It is the responsibility of the entire Catholic Community -- bishops, priests, deacons, religious, and laity -- to continue to strive toward the goal of making our Catholic schools available, accessible, and affordable to all Catholic parents and their children ..." ~ The United States Catholic Council of Bishops

The McMahon Parater Foundation supports the good work of Catholic Schools in the Richmond Diocese by offering student aid, and will soon offer teacher and administrative development as well.
