With gratitude and prayer, I wish our students, parents, pastors, principals, faculties and staffs a successful new school year. We all have been students or leaders in some way in our lives. We have learned and practiced patience, trust, understanding, and mostly we have learned the power of prayer and our deep faith can sustain us each day.

Happy First Anniversary to Bishop John P. Dolan. I was thinking about his Installment homily last year and was especially moved by the call to Catholics and all people to “Be Good. Be Loved. Be Blessed.” To me it feels like great joy and deep happiness – let nothing shake you. To be in a spiritual state of well-being. To this I say Amen.

We are grateful to all the Corporations and Individuals who have contributed their Arizona tax dollars for quality education. You are making a difference, investing in students, families, communities and ultimately creating – future leaders!

Note the Low-Income Corporate Tax Credit is still available to claim. If you file as an S or C Corporation, or are an insurance company that pays AZ premium tax, contact me to make an impact on today’s youth: npadberg@ceaz.org.

Individuals, you can take your 2023 Arizona tax credits with one payment, or monthly / bi-monthly payments through our Scheduled Pay program with payroll deduction by completing the A4-C form or call us at 602-218-6542 to learn more.
