We have an incredibly special opportunity over the next two days: The Goulart Family (Mark, Paige, Ryan, and Meagan) have stepped forward to match up to $15,000 in donations made over the next 1953 minutes!

Learn more about what inspires the Goulart Family to give to Saint Philomena School of the Sacred Heart:

For more than 25 years, Saint Philomena School of the Sacred Heart has held a very special place in our family’s heart. Both of our children (Ryan ’10 and Meagan ‘12) attended K-8 here and we witnessed firsthand the remarkable dedication of the faculty and staff, the strong sense of community, the excellent education provided, and the faith-based values that guide every aspect of the school.

Over the years, we have been fortunate to give back in many ways. Currently, Paige serves as a substitute teacher, a committee member, a committee chair, and as vice chair on the Board of Trustees. Each role has deepened her appreciation for the school’s mission and its lasting impact on students and families alike. Supporting Saint Philomena School has never just been about giving time or resources - it’s been about nurturing a community that continues to inspire, educate, uplift, and embody courage and confidence.

We are proud to say we are part of the Saint Philomena School Family and look forward to seeing the school thrive for generations to come. Today, we invite you to join us in supporting the 1953 Minutes of Transformation. Your gift – of any size – will help sustain the values, excellence in education and faith that make this community so special.
