Our Lady Seat of Wisdom is a private institution that relies solely on the generosity of  benefactors and its low cost tuition fees for its full operational budget. Although we are indebted to the Diocese of Pembroke and specifically St. Hedwig's Parish community for its ongoing generosity in helping to facilitate OLSWA with prayer and contributions, we are by the grace of  God growing and are reaching out for even greater help -- your help; a solidarity that will allow us to continue to form youth in the light of Christ and his Church.

Please read the related articles about our most pressing and immediate needs and how you can join in the miracle God is working at OLSWA.
