Anonymous Donor Gifts $20 Million To Schools In Diocese of Greensburg
By Ross Guidotti
“Twenty million dollars at least,” said Maureen Marsteller, the Superintendent of Catholic Schools.
That is how much money an anonymous donor gifted the Diocese of Greensburg’s Catholic schools.
“I can’t express how happy we are here in the Greensburg Diocese and I’m so happy for the opportunity for the children and youth of our diocese to have an opportunity to experience Catholic education,” Bishop Larry Kulick said.
The money will go to the St. Pope John Paul II Tuition Opportunity Partnership. Last year, the same individual donated more than $2.5 million to help pay the tuition for prospective students.
