As is the case with many privately-funded institutions, Saint James School relies upon donations to its Annual Fund Campaign to help finance necessary expenses that simply cannot be covered by the tuition paid by our families and are not supported by our other funding sources.

Annual fund donations, which come directly to our school, have helped us make many critical improvements in recent years such as our wonderful Innovation Lab, energy-efficient windows throughout our school and brand new roofs over our classrooms and breezeway. The impact of these improvements has been significant and your support – no matter how large or small – does make a difference!

This year Annual Fund donations will be used to further enrich the faith-filled educational experience provided to our students, support our talented faculty, and respond to unforeseen needs and opportunities that may arise (2025 Annual Fund Letter).

We hope that you will consider making a tax-deductible donation to our 2025 Annual Fund Campaign.  There are three simple ways to participate:

1) Mail a donation to:

Saint James School 2025 Annual Fund
73 Park Street
Manchester, CT 06040
(please make checks payable to “St. Teresa of Calcutta Parish” and note “SJS Annual Fund” in the memo field)

2) Drop off your donation at the school office or church rectory;

3) Make an online donation using a credit card or your PayPal account by clicking on the button below.



For all donations, please include a completed copy of our Annual Fund Donor Card (click link to view and print).
