Planned Giving

Bishop Feehan has been providing a quality secondary education for young adults in the Attleboro area for over 40 years. The administration and faculty strive to lead students in the quest and attainment of truth whereby they may become actually what they are potentially. The education made available at Bishop Feehan aims to foster a sense of personal worth and an appreciation of others, assist students in assuming responsibility for their actions and guide them to a way of life based on sound critical and moral judgments.

In recent years the school has experienced tremendous growth in its academic standing, physical plant and technological advancement. But Bishop Feehan does not provide its unique educational experience on tuition alone. Its existence is testimony to the devotion of individuals, past and present, whose generous gifts of time, talent and money continue to support the Feehan family's goals of Sanctity, Scholarship and Sportsmanship.

A planned gift can benefit you, your family and Bishop Feehan all at the same time. Such gifts allow the school to continue its vital role of preparing students to reach their potential, for life beyond the walls of Feehan, while providing you with income and tax benefits.

To learn about how you can give to Bishop Feehan, you may email Mari-ann Sullivan or contact the office by phone, 508-226-7411.
