Give the gift of Inclusion
“I prayed every night that she could have a seat at the table. And then I watched her go from a sad little girl to this child who just bloomed.” — Abby Murphy, EMBRACE parent
There are still moms crying in parking lots, being told their child can’t come to a Catholic school. There are still kids on the outside, looking in at a community that hasn’t yet found a way to make room for them. EMBRACE exists to change that — one school, one classroom, one child at a time.
When you give to EMBRACE, 100% of your gift stays local. It funds the resource teachers, the specialized training, the tools, and the scholarships that make inclusive Catholic education possible across all 42 schools in our Archdiocese. Your gift keeps a child in their home parish school. It gives a teacher the skills to say yes when a family walks through the door. It answers a prayer.
