The Billings Area Catholic Education Trust (BACET) launched in 1973, due to the vision and tenacity of our legacy donors. They were the pioneers – and they were determined to promote and ensure Catholic education in Billings. These individuals laid the groundwork for the launch of the Billings Catholic Schools Foundation in 2005.
