A Message from Walter & Eunice Campbell

Our son, George was an alumnus of then Holy Family School. He later attended and graduated from Nazareth Regional High School. We feel strongly that the academic teaching that he received from both schools sustained him until his untimely death. We are firm believers in a Catholic Education and we feel that there are many students who graduate from Our Lady of Trust School or are attending a Catholic Elementary School who are unable to pursue their education because of financial hardships. In view of this, we humbly ask you to join us in providing a gift of education through making a donation to help defray the cost for a desire to continue with a Catholic Education. From the bottom of our hearts we say thank you very much. May God Bless you and your family.

A friend for Life was established immediately following the death of the late  George K. Campbell. George was once a student of a Catholic Education. The friendships formed are strong bonds of love that will forever leave lifetime imprints in our hearts.  George’s life is what we base our theme: Friends for Life on. He was and will always be remembered as a friend for life to the many people that he encountered in his own very short life. George was dedicated to helping others and that is something that he did very well.

We decided early on that we would keep his torch lit by picking up the pieces where he left off. Our goal is to never let the flame burn out but to help as many children as we can to receive a Catholic Education along with the added benefits of developing a relationship with God, receiving their religious instruction and strengthening their own personal walk as a Christian.
