Dear Friend,

You and I have a lot to celebrate this year. Each year, we celebrate the graduation of another class of students from the schools that you make possible because of your love for the Indian children served by St. Labre.

What makes this year even more special is that, for the first time in St. Labre’s history, 100% of the graduating class has been accepted to a college, university or technical school. There are very few schools in this country that can make that claim.

The 2010 graduating class.

For many of our students, the cost of a college education is out of reach. That’s where the St. Labre Scholarship Program comes in. Please read more about this program and how you can help.

In addition to academics, St. Labre is also active in helping to keep the beautiful Indian culture alive whether it is teaching the history, languages, and traditional crafts such as beadwork of the two tribes that we serve.

There’s even more good news: The emergency generators have been installed and are fully operational so the next time the power goes out in the middle of a cold Montana winter, we will be ready.

Additionally, we will begin construction on the new student dormitory this summer. We still need some additional funds to complete the project, but, as we have done so many times in the past, we once again have stepped out in faith, trusting in God and our wonderful donors who always come through for the children. If you would like to make a donation to help complete this project, please contact us.

Finally, if you are in the area this summer, please put St. Labre on your list of places to visit. We would love to have you see firsthand this miracle that you make possible.
