Some of our History

George & Mary Kremer embraced their Catholic faith throughout their lifetime and were faithful witnesses of Jesus Christ in generously sharing their resources with others in need. George, born in New York City, always remembered with fondness the Women Religious who were part of his youth. Mary was the middle child of a devout Catholic family from Dayton, Ohio who,despite very modest means, made Catholic education for their children a priority.

While living in Naples, FL, the Kremers met Sr. Trinita Balbach, OSF, then principal of St. Ann's Catholic School. They were inspired by Sister to help some of the students from parish families with financial limitations to continue their elementary education at St. Ann's. The Kremers provided tuition assistance to the school on behalf of these students. Due to Sr. Trinita's advocacy for students in need and Mr. & Mrs. Kremer's appreciation for Sister's good works, the idea for their Foundation was created.

You will be made rich in every way so that you can
be generous, on every occasion, and through us
your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

- 2 Corinthians 9:10-11
