Fr. Mac Scholarship Information

St. Oscar Romero Parish is pleased to announce two scholarships to be awarded this May to two registered and active parishioners of St. Oscar Romero Parish. The $2500 scholarship is to be applied toward tuition costs at a Roman Catholic High School.  These scholarships are made possible through a fund established in Fr. McLaughlin’s memory after his death and ongoing parishioner donations to the Fr. Mac Fund.  As many of you know, Fr. Bernard P. McLaughlin was a long- time pastor at St. Gerard Parish,  and was known for his commitment to our youth.  He firmly believed Catholic education is an investment in our Church and our society.

Candidates are encouraged to apply on-line using the online application button below. Two letters of recommendation, a grade school official transcript, a list of extracurricular activities and a copy of the acceptance letter from a Catholic High School (if entering Freshman year) must be submitted to the Business Office, c/o Maggie Rubenacker by Monday, April 15, 2024.

A member of our Parish Council, staff and a parishioner will review the candidate’s application and submit their recommendations to the pastor for approval.

The winners will be notified by our pastor, Rev. Thomas Rafferty by Saturday, May 4, 2024.
