We are grateful for your continued support of St. Peter the Apostle School. Your gifts contribute to future generations of bright students who are and will be St. Peter’s students. The reward is watching these thoughtful children mature into exceptional and brilliant St. Peter the Apostle Alumni.
There are many ways to support St. Peter’s:
The Suzanne Fogarty Education Award: Inspired by Suzanne’s love of teaching and service, her family asks that her amazing spirit live on with the Suzanne Fogarty Education Award. The Award was created for deserving students at Saint Peter’s and B.S.S. Donations may be made to: The S.F.E.A., P.O. Box 14560, Savannah, GA 31416.
The Sr. M. Susan Harms, RSM First Grade Scholarship: This is awarded to a deserving rising first grader at St. Peter the Apostle School.
SPA Tuition Assistance Fund: Your tax-deductible contribution will be designated for tuition assistance, and will not be used for any other purpose. Any contribution, regardless of the amount, will be greatly appreciated. Please note: this tuition assistance fund is separate from funds generated through GOAL Scholarship Program, which can only be used for new students entering the school.
Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program:
The Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program is a remarkable initiative that enables individuals and businesses to help deserving students access quality K-12 education that may otherwise be out of reach.
All Georgia taxpayers are eligible to receive a 100% state income tax credit in exchange for their contributions to Georgia GOAL. Funds raised through GOAL are used to provide tuition assistance for exceptional students desiring to attend St. Peter the Apostle Catholic School.
The overwhelming success of the GOAL program speaks volumes about its importance. Year after year, demand surpasses the allocated cap of $120 million within the first business day of the year. This leads to proration of all applications, as witnessed in 2024 when applicants received only 63% of their requested amount due to oversubscription. We anticipate a similar scenario for 2025.
Contribution limits based upon taxpayer filing status are as follows:
Single Filer – up to $2,500
Married Separate Filer – up to $2,500
Married Joint Filer – up to $5,000
Individual Pass-Through Owner – up to $25,000
C Corp, Trust, or Electing Pass-Through – up to 75% of annual tax liability
To secure your 2025 GOAL tax credit, you must submit your application before the end of 2024. Apply today by visiting www.goalscholarship.org. GOAL will handle all remaining steps in the process until your contribution is due in mid-March 2025, within 60 days following approval by the Georgia Department of Revenue.
Help us make the most of this winning program and let’s make every GOAL count! Your participation empowers students to receive an excellent education, supports families in choosing the best educational environment for their children, and strengthens the well-being of our school community.

ST. PETER THE APOSTLE ENDOWMENT FUND: St. Peter the Apostle Church and School both have established an Endowment Fund. An Endowment Fund looks to the future and is a permanent investment fund from which interest and dividends are paid annually to support the life and programs of the parish and school. Many prospective donors embrace endowment funds because their life time gifts and/or bequests will benefit the church long after they are gone. Endowment gifts are theological statements which demonstrate one’s belief that we are never ultimately proprietors, owners, but only stewards, lifetime guardians entrusted by God to use wisely what God has placed in our hands. When an individual creates an endowment gift for the church during or beyond their lifetime, it declares to the present and future generations the importance of our faith and trust in God. Donors may determine how their gifts are distributed by indicating what area they wish to support. Gifts of cash, life insurance, annuities, mutual funds, stocks, bonds, and real estate are all tax deductible. Donors are encouraged to consult their attorney when preparing or amending their Wills or Estate Plans. We have each drawn water from the wells we have not dug; we have sat under shade trees we did not plant and we each have a wonderful opportunity to provide the means for the church to have a strong and empowering ministry for generations to come.
Memorial Gifts: St. Peter’s receives many gifts in memory or honor of classmates, parents, alumni and friends.
Bequests: One of the easiest ways to leave a substantial gift is by designating St. Peter the Apostle Catholic School as a beneficiary in your will.
