Our Loughlin Legacy

Jane P. Cozzi-Murray McD ’65 and Michael W. Murray ‘63

Jane and I were interested in an estate gift to Loughlin for a variety of reasons:

First and foremost, is our long held interest in helping otherwise financially disadvantaged children receive a quality education. Our parents were blessed to be able to send us to Bishop McDonnell and Loughlin at a time when they were each struggling to send three children to parochial schools. It was a lesson in sacrifice we have never forgotten.

Second, our personal experiences at these two wonderful schools created a natural opportunity to realize our interest in supporting the ambitions and dreams of young women and men.

Third, Loughlin is the embodiment of a quality High School offering not only a quality education but an environment that nourishes the student in a wholistic manner.

Fourth, our estate gift will impact the lives of literally hundreds, if not thousands of young women and men. The multiplying effect of a gift is enormous and continuous.

Attending a Loughlin Graduation Ceremony cemented our desire to establish a legacy gift. The extraordinary scholastic achievement verified our anecdotal observations and intuition about the great things going on at Loughlin and the quality, high achieving students graduating every year.

There are many factors that influence an Estate Gift. For Jane and me Loughlin presents an opportunity to give back to a school of unquestioned excellence. A school we know and understand, a school that continues the Loughlin, Saint Augustine and Bishop McDonnell’s legacies, and a school that continues to produce the future leaders of our society
