“The speed with which our world is changing is incredible and calls all of us to provide the highest-quality, most current state-of-the-art education possible. This capital campaign will allow both Regis and St. Mary Elementary to enhance existing and design new curriculum that will provide our students with the knowledge, skills and tools they need to be successful in whatever next steps they choose.”
Joni Gilles, Principal
Regis High School

Dear Friends,
Students today and tomorrow will be the major beneficiaries of
this extraordinary partnership to raise nearly six million dollars for
our local Catholic schools and the Catholic Church in Western
Oregon through “Sharing Our Faith, Shaping Our Future.”
The Regis High School Foundation, on behalf of St. Mary Elementary
Catholic School and Regis High School, is leading this joint
capital campaign with the Archdiocese of Portland and the five
Catholic parishes of the North Santiam Canyon Vicariate.
We are appealing to thousands of families, friends and alumni in
the vicariate, and through Oregon and the entire nation. We ask
that everyone join us and make a commitment commensurate
with the importance of this campaign as it benefits the church and
our children.
The five-year campaign seeks to raise nearly $6 million.
