Earl McNearney was a lifelong member of Holy Trinity Church, and when he died, Earl desired to give a gift to benefit St. Isidore School. This gift was set up as a perpetual fund, meaning that tuition assistance is given only from the interest earned. We want children for generations to come to be able to attend St. Isidore School, regardless of tuition cost. Monetary gifts/donations will help grow this fund so we can provide scholarships to more families.
