The Tri-State Italian-American Congress visited St. Agnes Cathedral School to present a $25,000 donation designated for tuition scholarships benefiting students of Italian-American descent. The gift, which was presented on Jan. 12, is part of a broader regional initiative by the Congress, which has donated more than $300,000 this year to Catholic schools across the Dioceses of Brooklyn/Queens, Rockville Centre, and New York.
The funding helps offset tuition costs for families while supporting faith-based education and preserving Italian-American cultural heritage. Founded in 1988, the Tri-State Italian-American Congress is a nonprofit organization serving Italian-American communities throughout New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
