Remembering a Classmate

The St. Pius X Class of ’71 / Doll deGolian Tuition Assistance Endowment Fund

The St. Pius X Class of ’71 / Doll deGolian Tuition Assistance Endowment Fund was established in 2007 by members of the St. Pius X Class of 1971 and friends and family of Doll deGolian Sullivan, a ‘71 classmate who died of cancer. The Fund offers tuition assistance to St. Pius X Catholic School for scholarships, especially to incoming freshmen. Students are eligible for the award if they exemplify high academic performance, are involved with the school through extracurricular activities, and come from families with multiple children. Doll deGolian Sullivan came from a family of 14 children, all of whom attended Catholic schools. Join the Class of ‘71 in remembering Doll deGolian and offering tuition assistance to St. Pius students.

The Djuric Family

Nick Djuric, a parishioner at the Cathedral of Christ the King, knew he wanted to create a fund someday to honor Bishop Saint Nicholas (Sveti Nikola), his family’s patron saint. Nick was baptized in the Serbian Orthodox Church and his family has relied on the saint’s intercession for unfailing help. “After our family escaped injury when a large tree fell on our house in 2015 – a close call for which we credited the intercession of St. Nicholas – I decided that day had arrived,” Nick said.

He added, “The Catholic Foundation embraced our idea for a donor-advised fund that would convert to an endowment fund at our death, and they made it effortless for us to create and fund the Sveti Nikola Fund when we were ready.”

Through the Sveti Nikola Fund, Nick and his wife Michelle plan to benefit a variety of ecclesiastical, charitable, and educational institutions in the Archdiocese of Atlanta that are important to their family. Then, with a supplemental gift from their estate at their death, the fund will continue to benefit those institutions long into the future.

“We hope that, both now and in the future, the fund will be a reminder to our children of their parents and their Catholic faith.” – Nick Djuric
