Upon review and confirmation of parish support, the in-parish rates for the remaining seven (7) months.  Church records will be checked to verify active membership.  If you are not active, you will be billed the non-parishioner rate.

Families must demonstrate need for assistance according to an Income Eligibility Scale to qualify for consideration.  Pre-applications are available online by clicking here and are due by March 15, 2024.
