Our Lady of Confidence (OLC) provides a small, student-centered Life Skills curriculum in a Catholic environment. 95% of families require assistance to afford tuition at OLC, and this is made possible through the support of the Catholic Charities Appeal.

OUR LADY OF CONFIDENCE

“My son Finn is 6 years old – he is a rambunctious, fun-loving little boy who also happens to have Down Syndrome. He has no idea that he’s disabled, and he wouldn’t want it any other way. He doesn’t let his disabilities hold him back. Finn attends Our Lady of Confidence School, one of the three Schools of Special Education in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. I am a Catholic School teacher, so it was very important to my wife and I that Finn receives a Catholic education. Finn loves going to school every day. He and his classmates are treated with respect and dignity. It takes a special kind of person to dedicate their life to a mission, and that’s what the school provides. This is a welcoming, safe place that values our children.  They deserve to have the best life possible because they are God’s creation. The Catholic Charities Appeal makes all this possible. Any donation will really help make a difference. These children are not always given a fair chance, and by supporting the Appeal, you are providing them with a safe place to learn and grow in their Catholic faith.”
