1WeekIrish

This year, we proudly celebrate 20 years of the Piro Scholar Program, a one-of-a-kind initiative dedicated to transforming the lives of students through academic, social, and emotional support, along with significant tuition assistance. The program was founded in honor of Sr. Teresa Piro, DC, whose life’s work was devoted to serving the most vulnerable members of our community. Sr. Teresa had an unwavering commitment to education, social justice, and advocacy, ensuring that every student, regardless of background, had the opportunity to excel. She was a daily example of compassion and dedication, making service to others not just a calling, but a way of life. Her legacy of compassion and empowerment lives on through the Piro Scholar Program, which has provided over 300 students with critical resources to help them succeed with this community partnership.

Please join us in support of our Sacred Heart Cathedral community and make a Fund for Excellence gift today in honor of the 20th anniversary of the Piro Program and the many resources we provide to our students and families.
