The Federation of Catholic Schools in the Northeast Deanery will work toward enhancing academic programming and developing marketing and fundraising plans for eight parish schools in the deanery. All 11 parishes of the deanery support the federation and so far have contributed a combined $60,000 to support forthcoming activities.
