St. Alphonsus Parish Education Endowment Fund
The St. Alphonsus Parish Education Endowment was established in 1994 to provide for costs associated with the education of children at St. Alphonsus School not covered by the regular parish budget. The Grand Rapids Dominican Sisters and St. Alphonsus parishioners originally funded the Endowment through generous donations. The charter and scope of the Endowment was changed to include all educational endeavors in our parish when All Saints Academy was founded in 2008.
