Who we are:

The Small Council for Fundraising (SCFF) was founded through the initiative of Karen Cannamela, whose constant dedication to helping others inspired the idea. She brought the concept to Hans Hartman, steward of the Building Committee at Saint Joseph School. Together, they presented the proposal to Pastor Mark O’Donnell: to form a “braintrust” of parishioners focused solely on generating financial support for the school.

With strict safeguards ensuring that all funds raised are exclusively allocated to the renovation and improvement of Saint Joseph School, Pastor O’Donnell recognized the integrity and necessity of the initiative and gave his full support.

Today, the Small Council for Fundraising stands as the only officially sanctioned fundraising body dedicated to supporting Saint Joseph School—a grassroots effort founded by parishioners, for the future of our children.
