Scholarships
Give the gift of Catholic education to our students! Read below on various opportunities. Contact Linda Ropchock in the parish office for more information.

• Angel Scholarship Fund. New in 2022: a win-win for students, families, schools, and parishes! A new state of Ohio tax-credit scholarship program allows donors to 'spend' their tax liability ($750 maximum) to a designated scholarship granting organization (SGO). The Catholic Community Foundation is a registered SGO under the Angel Scholarship Fund to provide scholarship funding for students seeking a Catholic education. Donors to the Angel Scholarship Fund will be eligible to claim a 100% tax credit on their 2022 Ohio income taxes, up to a maximum amount of $750. Donors can contribute to the area of greatest need or to support students at a school of your choosing, including St. Mary School in Chardon. This is a win-win for taxpayer donors, scholarship recipients, our school, and our diocese! For more information and to make a contribution, please visit Catholic Community Foundation's Angel Scholarship Fund page.
• Adopt-a-Student. St. Mary School families are blessed by the support of parishioners and benefactors who "Adopt-a-Student" to provide tuition assistance for families.

Special Collections and Campaigns
Our parish supports the initiatives and needs of our local, diocesan, and universal Church community. If you are a registered parishioner, special designated collection envelopes are mailed to you throughout the year to support these works of the Church. Periodically, we also take up emergency collections to assist with disaster relief efforts. Your contribution may be placed in a designated envelope if one is available and deposited in the same way as the regular Sunday collections. If no envelope is available, your cash or check donation should be clearly marked with a memo describing its designation. 

We have been blessed to be part of our Heart of a Shepherd Campaign to raise money to renovate our seminaries, create an endowment for newly ordained priest debt relief, and to fully fund the retired priest pension. 80% of every donation now received comes back to St. Patrick Parish to assist with capital projects including re-leading the stained glass windows in the sanctuary and choir loft, weatherizing the roof, and preventing basement flooding. Please visit the Heart of a Shepherd giving page or contact Debra Sudy (216-696-6525 x3670) at the Catholic Community Foundation to make or update your pledge.
