Making sure MC is best positioned to continue to impact the lives of our students for many years is important to our family to say thank you. State of the art facilities are paramount to accomplishing this goal which is why we have pledged our support to the Health and Fitness Center project."

The Carolyn & Thomas Murray Scholarship for the Fine and Performing Arts

"My decision to establish the seed funding for the 1st Morris Catholic High School endowment is based on three things: 

1. To honor my parents for their financial sacrifice to help me realize my dreams of getting a Morris Catholic education.

2. To express my gratitude, to my parents and to Morris Catholic, for my moral compass that guides me through life.

3. To establish a financial base that Morris Catholic can prudently invest to generate scholarships for years to come.

To anyone reading this who is thinking about setting up an endowment, I enthusiastically endorse doing it during your lifetime. 

Since establishing this endowment, I get to see how the gift that honors my parents, honors too, the school's students, faculty and staff."

The Bennett Family Scholarship

"Both of my sons had wonderful experiences at Morris Catholic, each in their own way. The MC community offers challenge, opportunity, and lasting friendships—not just for the students, but for the families who support them. Making this gift was my way of helping ensure that other families can share in the growth, support, and sense of community that Morris Catholic provides during such an important time in a young person’s life."
