Your sealed bid could purchase a year of Catholic education.

This is your opportunity to purchase a year of Catholic education while supporting youth and young adult ministry in the Diocese of Helena. The Catholic schools of the diocese generously donated a scholarship to the 2008 Son Light Celebrating Youth Ministry event. No individual purchased this scholarship during the live auction, but the Catholic schools of the Diocese of Helena have graciously agreed to honor their donation.

This scholarship is valid for the 2009-2010 school year and may be used at the diocesan Catholic school of the purchaser’s choice at either Butte Central Catholic Schools or St. Matthew Catholic School in Kalispell. Because Missoula Catholic Schools provided a scholarship for the 2008-2009 school year, they are not eligible for the 2009-2010 year.

Please include your contact information with your sealed bid. The minimum bid is $2,000 and must contain the name of the student and the name of the school at which the student will redeem the scholarship. This scholarship is not transferrable and not for re-sale.

Bids will be accepted until close of business on Monday, Feb. 2, 2009. The winner will be notified on Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2009. Payment for the accepted bid must be received within 10 days of the notification. If payment is not received, the next winner will be contacted and offered the scholarship.

Please send your sealed bid to the attention of Glenda Seipp, Sealed Bid, Diocese of Helena, P.O. Box 1729, Helena, MT 59624. For further information, you may contact Glenda Seipp at gseipp@diocesehelena.org or Patrick Haggarty at phaggarty@diocesehelena.org.
