Fr. Mark Hamlet Receives Kellerman Memorial Leadership Award
On January 11, 2020 the Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Austin celebrated and honored 20 Diocesan school heroes. These individuals are members of our communities who give so much to advance the mission of Catholic schools in the Diocese of Austin. This year Fr. Mark Hamlet, Pastor of Sacred Heart Church and Our Kids at Heart Chairman received the Kellerman Memorial Leadership Award!
Our Kids at Heart Partnership with local charitable organizations
More good news on our outreach. OKAH has been asked to partner with a couple of Parish St. Vincent DePaul Societies and Catholic Charities to identify families who elect to send their children to Catholic schools. We can think of no better way to evangelize families than through the Catholic education of their children. A team of Catholic school “Ambassadors” is being formed to help these families navigate the process. We ask for your prayers and support. We have seen that Catholic education can help break poverty’s hold on these families, and assure the success of their children.
Our tuition Subsidy program is becoming a tool in the toolbox of case workers dealing with challenging family situations.

Generous Supporters Allow Siblings to Attend Same Catholic School
Thanks to the generosity of the supporters of the #OurKidsatHeart tuition fund, Aly’s mom was able to enroll her younger son, Juan, in the same Catholic School that her daughter attends. Aly has been in the Cathedral School of St. Mary’s for three years; she has learned to pray, to be more kind, merciful and respectful toward others. Now Juan will experience the same #Catholic education and they will walk together into the Journey of the Catholic Faith!
May God bless all the supporters of Catholic Education and all the students in this school year 2019-2020!
