Save The Seraphs! Mater Dei Prep Catholic School closure threatened unless they raise $1,000,000 in 60 days!

March 11, 2015 By National Board

mater dei prepNJ AOH Division 2 Monmouth for the past 9 years has run the AOH Polar Plunge for Catholic Education.  During that time the Division has led 1000 students, faculty, clergy and family members into the freezing Atlantic Ocean each January.   The event has raised over $800,000 with 100% being returned to the school for tuition assistance, projects, infrastructure and sports teams.

Now AOH Member and Polar Plunge organizer Jim Shaw has been called upon by his Parish to help Save The Seraphs. The Mater Dei Prep High School in New Monmouth, NJ is threatened with closure unless they can raise $1,000,000 in 60 days.

Shaw and other concerned alumni organized SeraphFund.org to restructure the school and raise the needed cash.  Watch the Mater Dei Seraph Video and consider helping to Save the Seraphs! Keep the Seraphs in your prayers as we refuse to allow another Catholic School to close.
