A group of Cathedral graduates wanted to do something for the math teacher who inspired them to be better men. They established the Luz Ulrickson Scholarship Fund so that her legacy would live on through scholarships for well-deserving young students who can't afford to attend Cathedral High School.
A group of Cathedral graduates wanted to do something for the math teacher who inspired them to be better men. They established an endowed fund in the name of Luz Ulrickson so that her legacy would live on through scholarships for well-deserving young students who could not otherwise afford to attend Cathedral High School.
A native of the Phillipines, Luz Ramos arrived in College Station, Texas in 1964 to work on a Master’s Degree in Physics. It was during a visit to El Paso, where she had relatives, that she met Robert Ulrickson. Luz and Bob got married on July 24 of that year and began teaching at Cathedral High School.
During all of her years at Cathedral, Luz always went above and beyond for her “boys”. She held tutoring sessions on the weekends in her home and cooked for the students to make sure they could enjoy a hot meal while they were studying. Her love of Cathedral and its students spanned five decades.
Endowed funds provide a vehicle through which individuals make outright or planned gifts that will have an everlasting impact on the ministry/parish/school. In time the income generated by the gift will far exceed the original donation.
As a result, endowed funds provide a perpetual, supplemental source of income for such things as the enhancement of programs and ministries, facilities maintenance, scholarships and seminary assistance, priest retirement, etc. Learn more about endowed funds.
In addition to online donations, there are a variety of ways you can donate to support this fund.
