DISCOUNTED TUITION

In order to receive the discounted rate, you are requested to use the parish envelopes to indicate your attendance at Mass. Please remember that our philosophy states that we are preparing our students to, “participate both in the spiritual and liturgical life of the parish…” We ask that you support our goals by attending weekly Mass and participating in the sacraments and parish activities.

The Parent Agreement, which you sign each year states: “I understand that the discounted rate is for parish members who help support the parish through weekly attendance at Mass as indicated by the use of parish envelopes at Mass. Tuition rate will be evaluated and adjusted if necessary prior to the beginning of each semester”.

Envelopes must be handed in at Mass in order for them to indicate participation at Saturday/Sunday Liturgy. They should not be submitted or mailed to the Parish Office. There is no set dollar amount required in the parish/weekly envelope.

If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact our pastor, Msgr. Sork.
