Tithing
PLEASE FILL OUT THE INFORMATION ON THE FORM BELOW AND RETURN TO SCHOOL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Tithing
If the parent is a registered, financially supporting member of St. Joseph Catholic Parish, a tuition benefit is available to that parent. To qualify for tuition as a financially supporting parishioner, a family’s weekly contribution to St. Joseph Church should be a minimum of $8.00/week ($416 annually). These contributions are to be made in full by December 31, 2017. Contributions made after December 31, 2017 will not count toward tithing for 2017 and tuition rates will not be adjusted for the next school year (2018-2019). Regular use of the Sunday envelope is necessary as a sign of financial support of the Church.
(2017-2018 Handbook, p. 21)
Ponchos
