Friends of Loretto Abbey
Dear Loretto Abbey Parents and Guardians:
Historically, the students of Loretto Abbey have fundraised for charities identified by the Loretto Abbey Sisters which in the past have included projects in South Sudan, El Salvador, and India.
Therefore, the charitable organization Friends of Loretto Abbey Catholic Secondary School (FOLA) was created to assist with supporting the needs within the school community. FOLA is comprised of a group of current Loretto Abbey parents and alumnae. FOLA is working on behalf of all families in our school community to support our students in receiving the best education and experience as possible.
All donations are used to support identified needs of our school community. Tax receipts are issued for donations. FOLA’s most recent projects include the reupholstering of the auditorium seating, refurbishing of the arm rests, recent purchase of technology for classroom use, and updating the A/V equipment in our auditorium. This was made possible through the generous donations from both LAT parents and Alumnae. Thank-you to all who have supported these worthy projects!
We hope that you will remember Friends of Loretto Abbey when you are considering charitable donations. Rest assured that your donation will directly benefit your daughter(s).
There are three ways that you can donate:
1) Directly to the school either by mail or to the main office. All cheques should be made out to Friends of Loretto Abbey.
2) Make your donation directly through CanadaHelps.org: Friends of Loretto Abbey
3) If you participate in a workplace United Way program, you can direct all or a portion of your United Way contributions to Friends of Loretto Abbey. Directing your donation will be an option on your form. You can also ask your company to match your Friends of Loretto Abbey donation if they have a matching grant program in place.
