Why was the Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation established?
Catholic education is a high priority in the Diocese of Rockville Centre. Parishes are not able to fund solely the cost of running a school. Many families living on Long Island cannot afford the tuition to send their children to Catholic Schools. By raising funds from individuals and corporations, the Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation will help provide the needed support for society’s future leaders growing up on Long Island to continue to receive a quality Catholic education.

Why is the foundation called “Tomorrow’s Hope?”
The name “Tomorrow's Hope” was selected by Bishop William Murphy. The reason can be found in the first paragraph of the foundation’s mission statement which reads:
“We believe that young people are tomorrow's hope. They are a valued treasure and our future leaders. As part of the educational ministry of the local Church, we support Catholic schools as learning communities in which the gospel of Jesus is taught, lived and experienced on a daily basis”
