Holy FamilyRegional Catholic School Tuition Rates

2010-2011 For parishioners of the four parishes, there are two

Tuition Rate Schedules, one for participating families and one for non-participating families.

Although each pastor will determine the specific criteria for being designated as a participating family, it is expected that participating families are at least attending Mass on a weekly basis and they are financially supporting their parish.

21

Holy FamilyRegional Catholic School Tuition Rates

As a sign of goodwill, and in the hope that all of our Catholic families will be participating in the life of their respective parish, the pastors have agreed to consider all their families as participating families for the 2010-2011 school year.

In effect, the pastors are granting a grace period of one year for the currently non-participating families to receive the benefit of the Participating Families’ Tuition Rate Schedule.
