This could have wonderful benefits for the St. John Paul II Foundation because it is one of the nonprofit organizations that provides scholarships and grants to families for Catholic Education. Please urge Gov. Hocul to accept this federal money.

Exciting news for New York families! The proposed Federal Scholarship Tax Credit could open the door to more educational opportunities for students across our state.

💡 This initiative would allow taxpayers to redirect up to $1,700 toward scholarships—helping families afford tuition, tutoring, special education services, and more.

📚 It’s about giving parents choices and helping every child access the education that fits them best.

❤️ And it has the potential to impact millions in privately funded scholarships right here in New York.

Now is the time to make your voice heard and support brighter futures for our children!

"It is Jesus in fact that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provokes you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your hearts your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle.” St John Paul II, World Youth Day Prayer Vigil, August 19, 2000

Here is a quote from St. John Paul II, speaking to young Catholics, about the purpose and importance of Catholic education:

"Why does the Church consider it so important and expend so much energy in order to provide you and millions of other young people with a Catholic education? The answer can be summarized in one word, in one person, Jesus Christ. The Church wants to communicate Christ to you.

This is what education is all about, this is the meaning of life: to know Christ. To know Christ as a friend: as someone who cares about you and the person next to you, and all the people here and everywhere—no matter what language they speak, or what clothes they wear, or what color their skin is.”
