St Bernard College uses road fundraising to cut deficits

Father Aloysius Plaisance tours the country to raise funds for St. Bernard College in Cullman. The college has faced a deficit since 1969, totaling over 250000, and aims to raise 25000 locally this year. The drive relies on alumni support, Abbey payroll savings, and the Ave Maria Grotto income.

Abbot’s Fundraising and Fortunes at St Bernard College

The article profiles Father Aloysius, longtime fundraiser at St Bernard College, noting donations from a Nashville widow to a $250,000 largest gift used for the Abbey Church. It recounts a 1953 misstep with promotional overspending, his ongoing publicity role, and unusual returns such as toilet paper and shampoo from travels. It frames St Bernard’s 1956 accreditation, coed on campus since 1970, and plans for a new physical education building amid a push to avoid red ink.
