Immaculata Catholic School Alumni - Durham, NC

Phil loves an early bird! Although we officially kick off Phil's Challenge our Spring fundraiser on March 1, you can get started now! This year, we are introducing to the community at large an opportunity to have our Eagles sponsored (adopted) by you!

Please consider adopting an Eagle (a student at ICS) during Phil’s Challenge and in doing so, YOU are providing current and future Eagles the opportunity to be part of a school community where they can grow in faith, knowledge, and character. 🦅🎉

We are gearing up for Phil's Challenge, our Spring fundraiser that raises essential funds for our school. The event will take place from March 1 to March 15, and our theme is "We are GREAT because WE SERVE". During this period, our students will perform Acts of SERVICE, raise money, and participate in a fun-filled Color Run. We can't wait!! 🦅

Congratulations to ZIAN LANE, Immaculata Class of 2015, on her graduation from Howard University in May 2023. Zian earned a B.A. in Strategic, Legal, and Management Communications with a Public Relations concentration and a minor in Theatre Arts, graduating Summa Cum Laude with a 3.95 GPA.

Zian now lives in New York and works for Creative Artists Agency (CAA) as a Theatre and Literary Agent Assistant. Although working in a very fast paced position, Zian takes time out to attend Broadway plays and also attended the CAA Young New York Party!

Go Zian! 🦅💙

As we celebrate Giving Tuesday this year, we invite you to contribute toward the Kaitlyn Lovett Memorial Scholarship Endowment. Immaculata has teamed up with Ms. Lovett's family and the Foundation of the Diocese of Raleigh toward a goal of this endowment reaching $100,000 by August. Your support will play a pivotal role in helping us achieve this. By donating, you will help us provide exceptional educational opportunities to future generations. We appreciate your generosity and thank you for considering this cause.

The Lovett Endowment was created in memory of an Immaculata teacher and provides a scholarship opportunity to an incoming 4th grader at Immaculata Catholic School, who has demonstrated admirable effort and behavior in school, faithfulness, kindness and enthusiasm for Immaculata - just as Ms. Lovett did.

Kaitlyn Lovett was a remarkable young lady who brought such an amazing light and spirit to Immaculata Catholic School, and she will be loved and commemorated always, through this Endowment.

Today, our middle school had guest speakers, Jeff Furman, Urban Ministries Board Member, and ICS alumni Will Furman. They shared information with us about Urban Ministries, the organization that ICS will focus on serving for Giving Tuesday. During the session, our Eagles learned about how to combat homelessness and food insecurities.

Today is National Philanthropy Day! You are invited to participate in a Giving Day to support the next steps for the property we acquired adjacent to the playground earlier this year. Immaculata is a gem in the center of downtown Durham. Your support today will help this campus continue to grow and thrive in thoughtful ways to serve our combined church, school, and Durham community. We are so grateful for the generous support of our donors and volunteers who come together in ways large and small to make Immaculata an extraordinary school. With your help, we know we can look boldly toward plans to make this area a special place for learning, growing, gathering, and celebrating.
