Give

Bequeath a perpetual gift! Founded in 1978, the Sacred Heart Teachers’ Sustentation Fund (“Trust Fund”) was the result of the vision and determination of inspired parents, who along with the pastor, wanted to ensure that the children of Sacred Heart Parish always had the opportunity to obtain a Catholic education in a Catholic school located in Muenster, Texas. Realizing that the largest single expense or cost for running a school is teachers’ salaries, the Sacred Heart Trust Fund is an IRS tax-exempt charitable organization, with the sole purpose of supplementing salaries of the teachers at Sacred Heart Catholic School. The Trust Fund gratefully accepts donations of any size, which can be mailed directly to: 

SH Teachers Sustentation Fund
P.O. Box 97
Muenster, TX 76252

A monthly autodraft is also a simple and convenient way to give for as little as $10 per month. To set up an autodraft, simply print out the following PDF Auto-Draft Authorization Form and return it to the Trust Fund.

Joe & Ruth Felderhoff Endowed Scholarship Fund

The four daughters of Joe ’53 and Ruth decided to honor their parents by creating a Memorial Fund benefiting our students. Both long-time teachers at SHCS, Joe and Ruth selflessly served in any capacity they were needed. Christy ‘80, Jenny ‘82, Anne ‘84, and Rose’85 agreed that they wanted to preserve the amazing legacy of service demonstrated by their parents in the form this Scholarship Fund. Their Fund will help ensure that generations to come will have the opportunity to know and live their Catholic faith.

Paul and Marie Endres Endowed Scholarship Fund

Mary Ellen Endres ‘67 and her six siblings describe Sacred Heart Catholic School as “incredibly important” to their parents. In deciding what they could do to honor Paul and Marie, they chose to create an endowed fund in their parents’ names. Mary states, “we took the legacy they gifted to us and turned it back into a tribute to them.” This generous gift will benefit SHCS into perpetuity as the family chose to distribute only part of the interest earned each year, with the principal amount always remaining intact.

These Funds are just a few of the ways you may memorialize a loved one, support SHCS in general, or contribute to a specific need at the school that is dear to you. We are happy to assist in your giving goals to ensure funds are used as you direct.

Tom Fuhrmann Family Memorial Fund
(Special Projects & Immediate Tuition Assistance)
Tom and Gloria, both SHCS graduates, were long-time supporters of Catholic education. Upon Tom’s passing, Gloria sought to honor him by creating the Tom Fuhrmann Family Memorial Fund. Says Gloria, “when Tom and I returned to Muenster after being away for 45 years, we began attending daily Mass at Sacred Heart, and after seeing all the students in their uniforms, we both felt that we were truly home. Donating to Sacred Heart Catholic School, through physical labor, prayer or monetarily, truly has been a labor of love.” Gloria hopes her actions “encourage others to donate to any of the many memorial funds at Sacred Heart, or even create their own fund in an effort to give back to this great institution that gives us so much.”
