About SACA

The Students' Annual Catholic Appeal (SACA) is a fundraising campaign dedicated to nurturing Catholic stewardship and community involvement. The Annual Catholic Appeal provides support and funding toward several missions and ministries throughout our 19 counties in the Diocese of Toledo, including youth ministry and education. 

Goal

SACA aims to unite our students in a collective effort to support vital causes while enriching their understanding of Catholic values. Our goal for the first year is to achieve a minimum of 76% student participation across our schools.

  • How It Works

    To facilitate this initiative, we have prepared comprehensive preparation kits for each participating school. These kits include:

    • Lesson Plans: Tailored templates for teaching Catholic Stewardship in relation to SACA.

    • Posters and Instructions: Eye-catching materials to promote the appeal and guide students through the process.

    • Forms and Other Materials: Essential documents for participation and record-keeping.

     Activities and contests will be organized by grade bands to ensure age-appropriate engagement:

    • ·Kindergarten to 2nd Grade

    • 3rd to 5th Grade

    • 6th to 8th Grade

    • 9th to 12th Grade

  • Incentives and Recognition

    To motivate and recognize student participation, we are introducing several exciting awards:

    • Essay Contest

    • Logo Design

    • Poster Design

    More incentives are currently under development.
