Stay Tuned for More Information!
Since the opening of the first school, it has been the desire of the Diocese to make our Catholic schools accessible to all families who wish to provide a Catholic education for their children. In 1991, the Diocese of Fall River established the St. Mary’s Education Fund. In 2015, the St. Mary’s Education Fund changed its name to the Foundation to Advance Catholic Education (FACE).
