A Legacy of Love and Opportunity
A family honors 25 Years with the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon and Valley Catholic School
Recently, the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon Foundation witnessed an amazing act of generosity. An anonymous family who has a 25-year relationship with the Sisters and Valley Catholic School contributed $25,000 to set up a named endowed scholarship for future Valiants.
This gift is a heartwarming testament to how the Sisters and Valley Catholic School have helped and inspired students and families for more than 120 years. Whether you have been a community member for decades or just a few months, the SSMO campus community nurtures a spirit of connection and care that makes a life-long and meaningful difference.
“Thank you for the opportunity to honor our 25 years as part of the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon and Valley Catholic School community by helping us establish an endowment that will help other students receive what our children have so richly received through their relationship with the Sisters and Valley Catholic School.”

This anonymous family’s journey is a shining example of the Sisters’ legacy in education. Though their children have graduated and their daily presence on campus has lessened, their enduring commitment will transform lives for many years. Their generous $25,000 gift to establish this named endowed scholarship will provide crucial tuition assistance to students who need it most — ensuring that future generations of Valiants have access to the same life-changing education their children received.
Their act of kindness enriches classrooms, strengthens school programs, fosters excellence, and inspires hope throughout Valley Catholic and the entire Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon campus community.
