St. Bede school

Saint Bede Catholic School exists to support the family and community and to provide all children an opportunity for a challenging educational experience, which includes Social and Emotional Growth, Values, Tradition, and Faith.

The decision to close St. Bede School after this academic year was accepted by Cardinal Cupich. We are truly saddened this decision had to be made and look forward to serving our families during this transition as best as possible.

We again, thank all of you that had contributed to help St. Bede School. The Donation Refund Process has been working to comply with the donators’ wishes.  Here is some information regarding that.

 In response to last week’s notice to donors, 225 donations have thus far been processed from the GoFundMe fundraising effort, and more are in process.
