Memorial funds may be established through meaningful gifts that honor a loved one, celebrate a family legacy, or support students in need. Contributions to gifts grow over time, increasing the impact of scholarships. 

Through the generosity of donors and the faithful stewardship of the school community, Memorial Funds advance the mission of forming students to reach their God-given potential for many years to come. All gifts are designated as directed by the fund Letter of Intent or Agreement. Fund distributions are recorded in the Saint Patrick Catholic School Annual Report. 

Andrew Joseph Kraus Memorial Fund

In loving memory of Andrew Joseph Kraus (March 11, 1986 – September 17, 2025), the Kraus family has established a memorial fund at Saint Patrick Catholic School to honor Andrew’s commitment to his family, faith, and military service. 

Andrew was a dedicated husband and father, a loving son and brother, who prioritized his family above all else. He was a true professional who embodied the spirit and tenets of a Special Operations Aviator. 

In Andrew’s memory, the Kraus family has established the Andrew Joseph Kraus Memorial Fund to ensure that Andrew’s legacy lives on by helping future students attend Saint Patrick Catholic School. The Kraus family commits this fund to support active-duty military families and veterans. Through this fund, the Kraus family will continue to impact the lives of others, supporting students in their journey of faith and learning, just as Andrew did during his time as a parent at Saint Patrick Catholic School.
