The Catala Club has a long tradition of selfless service and dedication to Santa Clara University. Our motto is Service, Support and Spirituality. Watch our Celebration of 90 Years of Serving the SCU Community.
|
Today we are a group over 200 women who have a passion for a Santa Clara University Jesuit education. We hold monthly luncheons with speakers and special Liturgies held on campus or at local venues. We host a fall fashion show fundraiser and several socials which include spouses and friends.
The common thread is that we are dedicated women who believe in the value of a Santa Clara education. Through our fellowship, friendship, and fundraisers, we have 8 endowed scholarships which total over $23,400,000. An annual scholarship award of $29,000 serves 32 students.
We are Women Empowering the Next Generation.
