San Antonio (CLI)—The 19th annual Catholic Life Insurance Catholic Schools Charitable Raffles continues throughout the state of Texas. Three Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Amarillo are among 58 Catholic Schools from nine dioceses in Texas participating in the Charitable Raffles. Those schools in the Diocese of Amarillo are: • Holy Cross Catholic Academy and Saint Joseph’s School, both in Amarillo; and, • St. Anthony’s School, Hereford. All three schools are selling tickets for the raffles at this time. Catholic Life officials say since 2007, the Charitable Raffles have helped Catholic Schools raise nearly $16 million, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the schools. Tickets for the Charitable Raffles are $5.00 each. The Grand Prize is a $20,000 Prepaid VISA Card. Each participating school is also guaranteed to have a winner of a $1,000 Pre-Paid VISA Credit Card. It is possible to win both the $1,000 VISA Card and the Grand Prize. The drawing will take place in February. “As a Faith-based organization, we are committed to supporting Catholic education and helping schools flourish,” said Catholic Life Insurance President/CEO Christopher M. Belz. “It’s an honor to invest in the future of our children and our faith.” San Antonio-based Catholic Life Insurance provides all the prizes, marketing material and printing. Proceeds raised by the participating schools can be used in the manner they choose. Examples include the purchase of computer equipment, textbooks, necessary school repairs and tuition assistance.
