St. Maurice Alumni Association

The St. Maurice Parish School Alumni Association was organized in 1996, in order to insure a solid foundation for the future of St. Maurice School, and to be supportive of providing a Catholic quality education for our students now and in the future. The Alumni Association is responsible for the publication of the St. Maurice School Alumni Newsletter, which is published bi-monthly. This Association is also responsible for collecting and accounting for all donations from alumni as they are received. The donations received as of June 2000, have totaled $4,420. Of this amount, $2,050 has been invested in an endowment fund entitled "The Foundation for the People of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield-in-Illinois."
