Parish Stewardship Tuition Information
Thank you for believing in the value of a Catholic school. Our faith community is happy to partner with you so that your child/ren experience the richness of a living Catholic faith, the strength and support of a faith community, and benefits of an excellent education, all in keeping with our mission as a parish.
Experience shows us that periodically refreshing everyone’s memory on what that partnership looks like is important. The church community, through the offertory, currently supports our schools with more than 20% of its annual income. This is our commitment to your Catholic children and you as registered parishioners. As partners, your commitment to us so we may offer you the lowest tuition rate available is equally important.
To qualify for the St. Francis Parish Steward tuition rate:
- At least one parent is a baptized Catholic registered at St. Francis or is actively participating in the RCIA program (exceptions to this will be considered on a case-by-case basis)
- All enrolled children age 8 and above are baptized Catholics with a baptismal certificate on file with TFS. If a baptismal certificate cannot be located at home, they may be obtained from the parish in which the sacrament was received.
- Your household has an activated account in Realm, our internal database system. Click HERE to activate your account in Realm if you haven’t done so already.
- Regularly attend weekend Mass.
- Engage in a school or church ministry to the best of your household’s ability. Examples: Being a classroom parent, leadership for an event for one of our schools, being a liturgical minister, being involved with a church outreach ministry, etc. Student involvement is also recommended.
- Make regular, identifiable suggested financial contributions of $100 per month to the church offertory or at a level commensurate with your means via Faith Direct or church envelopes. Please note that cash contributions are not identifiable if not enclosed in an envelope with the family name. For financial giving options, call Toni Hammes at 919-847-8205 x 265.
