Membership: Open to all Elyria Catholic alumni and friends, and new members are always welcome! You don’t have to be a member to participate in our events. However, members gain a special voting right in our giving circle, allowing you to be part of the decision-making process that shapes how we support Elyria Catholic.
Circle Of Grace: Inspired by Our Lady of Grace, our Elyria Catholic patroness, the Circle of Grace empowers members to address the needs of Elyria Catholic High School with a spirit of generosity and compassion. Members gather annually to decide which projects to support, focusing on Faculty & Staff Special Projects and Student Academic Enrichment grants. This structure ensures that our contributions make a meaningful impact on both the growth of our educators and the enrichment of our students’ experiences. Register
Circle Of Grace Co-Chairs: "I am honored to co-chair Circle of Grace with Michelle Barb. As an EC Alumnus, it has always been important to me to see Elyria Catholic provide students with innovative academics and faith-filled education. To me nothing is more satisfying than having a direct impact on this mission and providing opportunities for staff and students to enhance the Elyria Catholic experience. I am grateful to be surrounded by other women who value Catholic education and the fellowship we can grow in while creating a place where staff and student dreams can become reality through Circle of Grace Grant Funding." -Christina Meecha '90
"As a co-chair with Christina Meecha we are energetic to bring our experience to developing the Circle of Grace membership in order to enhance the funding opportunities for faculty and student projects. Members will play an active role in creating a new legacy tradition that will continue to foster the growth of our EC community. We encourage women to join us in this endeavor and embrace the power we can achieve as we work together to grow our Circle of Grace." -Michelle Barb
