The Bishop David E. Foley Benefactors Society (Society) is a distinguished community of dedicated supporters who have a strong devotion to the mission of St. John Paul II Catholic High School (JPII). The Society plays a vital role in fostering a sustainable financial foundation for JPII.  Membership in the Society honors two key groups: (1) the original Founders, whose generosity helped establish JPII and who have continued their generous support over the years and (2) those individuals who make significant leadership-level contributions to the school annually.  Through their philanthropy, our Benefactors help advance the strategic goals and vision of the school.

Benefactor Society membership opportunities may be offered to individuals or couples who have significantly contributed to the development of JPII in one or more of the following ways:

•    Financial contributions totaling $20,000 or more.
•    Contributions of time and talent through service on the JPII Board of Trustees.
•    Significant involvement with, and demonstrated dedication to, school committees involved with administration, maintenance, fundraising or future growth of the school.
•    Recommendation by a local pastor, member of the Benefactors Society, Advancement Office, member of the Board of Trustees or school President/Principal, in recognition of based on substantial contributions to the mission of the school.

We celebrate our Benefactors by offering:

•    Monthly school Mass intentions dedicated to our Benefactors.
•    Personalized invitations to school events, including performing arts productions, athletic competitions, and band concerts.
•    Public recognition in our Annual Report and on the school’s website.


It is with tremendous gratitude that we acknowledge and thank our current Benefactors for their enduring generosity and unwavering support of JPII.
