A Legacy of Catholic Education: The Inspiring Story of Bill and Judy Hidalgo

Catholic education has been a priority for the Hidalgo family for generations. Both Bill and Judy Hidalgo received their education from Brother Martin High School and Dominican High School in New Orleans. After moving to Morgan City, they knew that Catholic education would be essential for their kids and Central Catholic became their new home.

For many years, even long after their kids graduated, Bill and Judy remained supporters of Central Catholic and have since created a personal legacy for Central Catholic through the Catholic Foundation. In 2023, Bill and Judy Hidalgo created a permanent endowment for Central Catholic providing perpetual support for the school, ensuring families across the Morgan City and Berwick communities could have access to Catholic education for years to come.

The Catholic Foundation is honored to work with donors like Bill and Judy to support causes you are passionate about. Together, we can work together and help move our schools, parishes and our Diocese from maintenance to mission.

We invite you to contact Amy Ponson at aponson@htdiocese.org or (985) 850-3116 to learn more about how you can create a legacy that supports the Central Catholic Endowed fund, or any cause-related fund that excites you.
