You’re Invited! October 12, 2025 | Embassy Suites – Lincoln, NE
As a new school year begins and classrooms across our diocese come alive with learning and faith, we invite you to join us for one of the most inspiring evenings of the year — the Saints and Scholars Banquet, held on Saturday, October 12 in Lincoln.
This annual event honors the donors, educators, and champions of Catholic education whose generosity is making a lasting impact. Together, we’ll celebrate the mission of the Good Shepherd Scholarship Fund, which awarded over $2.4 million in scholarships this year to 1,287 students across our Catholic schools — from Holdrege to Hastings, Crete to Lincoln.
Each gift to the Scholarship Fund opens doors. As 2024 Distinguished Sponsor, Michael Nevrivy, shared,
“Each dollar donated represents more than tuition – it embodies hope, belonging, and the promise of a better future rooted in faith.”
If you believe in the power of Catholic education to shape students in both mind and spirit, we invite you to join us as an attendee and/or sponsor of this special evening. Your generosity helps ensure no child is turned away from a Christ-centered education due to financial barriers.
