Our Kids at Heart Partnership with local charitable organizations

Our Kids at Heart Partners with Local 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

Siblings to Attend Catholic School with Generous Support from DonorsThanks 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!

Building a Pro-Life Community

Thanks to all the supporters of #Catholic education. Together we are building a #ProLife community!

Anthony, Grade 12, and his sister, Hellen, Grade 11, both attend San Juan Diego Catholic High School. They are beneficiaries of the Our Kids at Heart Tuition Fund. They, with other members of their Parish, Sacred Heart Church, joined the 2019 Texas Rally for Life that was held last Saturday, January 26, 2019. The Texas Rally for Life commemorated the 46th anniversary of the tragic Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision in 1973, which made abortion legal throughout all nine months of pregnancy. In the wake of Roe, legal abortion in our nation has claimed the lives of more than 60 million unborn children and has hurt countless women and men.
