Mission
The mission of Hope for the Future is to assist families in obtaining the academic and spiritual benefits of a Catholic school education in the Archdiocese of San Antonio.
History of HOPECommunity leaders, realizing a critical need among impoverished families in the San Antonio inner city, created Hope for the Future (Hope) as a way out of the cycle of poverty for their children. Hope is making the dream of a Catholic school education a reality for hundreds of these families by awarding them with tuition assistance to help cover the cost of their child’s Catholic schooling.
Established in 2006, Hope helps to make the proven benefits of Catholic School Education available to economically disadvantaged children. Through tuition assistance and grants to schools, Hope supports all Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of San Antonio.
Over 14 years, Hope has awarded over $22 million in tuition assistance funds to 16,000 students.

Closing Prayer – During Times of Transition God of everlasting faithfulness, you have called us to new ways of being and doing to which we are still
becoming acclimated, we know that you are with us in the midst of this transition and we thank you of your presence.
Guide us as we journey together upon this sea of change, for we need your wisdom and your steadfast love as we move forward toward an unknown future. Give us the courage to face our challenges with grace, and help us to trust that your hand is always upon us.
May we look to you for reassurance so that we may encourage any among us who falter in this time of uncertainty, and strengthen our conviction that with you by our side, we have nothing to fear. Encourage us to come together as a team as we remember that it is your people whom we serve. All this we ask in the name of your son, Jesus, our Lord. Amen.
