Serving God's Children

The Catholic Foundation of Maine is pleased to announce Rachael T. Haskell of Cheverus High School and Madison L. Leslie of St. Dominic Academy are the recipients of the 2018 Lila Grace Sullivan Amirault Scholarships. The awards will be presented to the students by our Most Rev. Bishop Robert P. Deeley, JCD at a reception with members of their families, leadership of the schools, members of the Board of Trustees of the Foundation on March 16th, 2018.
This special scholarship endowment, which helps Maine Catholic high school students with college tuition costs, was established in 2013 by the late Patrick Amirault, in memory of his wife. Mr. Amirault, one of nine children, created the endowment to show his appreciation for the care and quality education he received at Catholic school.
“The Amirault Scholarship Endowment is a wonderful example of the type of legacy donors can leave in an endowment with the Catholic Foundation of Maine. This endowment honors Mr. Amirault’s dedication to working students and will help Maine’s Catholic high school students for years to come,” said Elizabeth Badger, Executive Director of the Catholic Foundation.
The 2018 winners will each receive $4,500. Both are young women committed to living out their faith through service.
A full press release and story in Harvest Magazine are forthcoming.
