Thanks to the generosity of the Robert E. &amp; Patricia A. Schmidt Foundation, new donations made in the 2022-23 school year to the Hays Catholic Schools were matched up to $100,000. In February, Hays Catholic Schools were able to reach that goal to raise the funds for the match. New donors came in at an astonishing 67 percent of the new dollars raised.

Hays Catholic Schools of Thomas More Prep-Marian and Holy Family Elementary would like to thank the Robert E. &amp; Patricia A. Schmidt Foundation and all those who continue and have begun their journey of support for local Catholic education.
