Event celebrates center-city schools’ anniversary, new Notre Dame ACE Academies

Three years removed from the heartbreak of being homeless with six children, Kevina White looks into the camera and shares a different story—a story of finding hope and a home for her family. With a calm joy, White talks about the home she has found for her children at Holy Angels School. White’s heartfelt, video tribute was a highlight of the Notre Dame ACE Academies’ “X-Ttravaganza” in Indianapolis on Oct. 27. The fundraising event celebrated 10 years of success for the Mother Theodore Catholic Academies (MTCA) in the archdiocese. It also marked the start of a new era this year in which the Notre Dame ACE Academies are continuing the MTCA legacy of providing a Catholic education to children in Central Catholic, Holy Angels, Holy Cross Central, St. Anthony and St. Philip Neri schools.

Imagine a situation where parishes must each pay for the education and retirement of its priests. Where each parish must provide housing and food for the needy within its boundaries, placement for refugees, and professional development for its parish school teachers. With the United Catholic Appeal: Christ Our Hope (UCA), parishes need not incur such financial burdens.
