DONATIONS
The St. Joseph Fund
New in 2022
New in 2022
Join with fellow parents, alumni and friends of the school as we rally behind our shared, Catholic identity and establish the St. Joseph Fund.
This fund will allow for the refurbishment, repair and installation of visible, outward signs of our faith on O'Connell's campus.
Our goal is to ensure that each entrance of the school, as well as key gathering areas on the campus, reflect the Catholic faith that we aim to instill in each of our DJO Knights.
In addition to the refurbishment of the large crosses that grace the exterior of the school, initial projects funded by this initiative will include the installation of religious statuary at major student access points; namely placing a statue of the Blessed Virgin inside the stadium and a statue of Christ the Redeemer at the auditorium entrance.
