Stewardship is not an idea, a program or an annual appeal. Stewardship is what we do with what we have when we believe in God. This Monday, October 18, we cele-brate the Feast of St. Luke the Evangelist. St. Luke is one of the four Gospel writers. He was entrusted to tell the story of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles. He was entrusted to tell the “Good News” of Jesus Christ. Christian stewards are also entrusted to tell the story and “Good News” who is Jesus Christ. They have a relationship with Jesus that is personal and intimate. They are intentional about not only reading and studying the stories of Jesus, but they desire to converse with Jesus so as to belong to him and be-come like him. Saint Luke’s Jesus is for everybody, and everybody can be an evangelist. This is stewardship!

Indiana Choice Scholarship Information There have been some exciting changes and expansion to the Indiana Choice Scholarship Program. The income guidelines have been expanded and will cover more families than ever before starting in the 2021-2022 school year. The award amounts for all Choice Scholarships have also been increased to 90%, which covers most of the tuition and fees at Our Lady. Current Our Lady students who now meet the income requirements will have to first receive an SGO Scholarship in order to be eligible the following year for a Choice Scholarship. We rely on donations to our SGO account in order to fund these scholarships. With so many more families now eligible, the SGO Scholarship is their only pathway to the 90% Choice Scholarship. Each donation to the Our Lady SGO account comes with a 50% Indiana State Tax credit. Any donation to this account will be tremendously helpful due to the number of current students who now need to be put on this pathway. Donors must select Our Lady of Perpetual Help as the intended recipient of the funds. 100% of the funds come directly to the school to be used for scholarship purposes. Donations can be made online, or by mail with a check. Information can be found at: https://www.i4qed.org/sgo/donors If you have questions about the program or on how to donate, please call Mr. Steve Beyl at 812-944-7676, or via email at sbeyl@olphna.org
