Qualifications for Parish Assisted Tuition
Archbishop Pilarczyk’s letter of August 1997 to all pastors states: “A parish school, in addition to providing religious instruction, also provides secular benefits (at a verifiable cost) which parishioners can rightly be expected to help pay for. Furthermore, a certain level of involvement on the part of the parents is an essential part of any school program. Therefore, it is appropriate for parishes to establish criteria of eligibility for ordinary access to the parish school. These criteria may include payment of tuition, participation in the liturgical life of the parish and in the parish’s other activities, some volunteer involvement in the school, etc.”
St. Brigid School is established to provide a religious and secular education for the children of parishioners of St. Brigid Parish. It is with this in mind that we have established the following criteria of eligibility for ordinary access to St. Brigid School.
- The parent(s)/guardians and students must be baptized Catholic and registered in the parish. To be registered in the parish means that an updated registration form is on file at the parish office; the family has completed and returned a Stewardship Intent card; the family receives mail from the parish; and the family has collection envelopes.
- The parents/guardians must see that the students observe the obligation of Sunday and Holy Day Mass attendance.
- The parents/guardians must have demonstrated reasonable parish financial support, on a regular basis, during the previous 12-month period, by using their collection envelopes or personal checks in the weekly collection. The exception to this would be for families that have just recently moved into the parish before registering their students in school. The pastor will determine what is reasonable financial support.
- The parents/guardians must pay the established tuition.
- The parents/guardians must assist in all parish fund raising events that benefit the school.
Persons who do not qualify for ordinary access to the parish school (e.g. non-Catholics, non-members of the parish, or parish members who do not fulfill the criteria outlined above) may be allowed access to St. Brigid School by payment of the full cost per student for tuition.
The above information refers to the tuition assistance that is available for all active parishioners who satisfy the requirements listed. Additional assistance may also be available for tuition at St. Brigid School. It is the hope of the St. Brigid administration that financial concerns will not keep a family from enrolling their children in St. Brigid School.
