FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Parents are asked to contribute towards the cost of the Faith Development program by paying annual fees of $110 for your first child, $100 for the second and $50 for the third, up to a maximum of $250. (This is reduced to $50 if the child joins the program in January or later.) However, the parish does not wish to lay heavy burdens upon families for whom this sum is difficult to find. Families may apply for help in paying these fees by either spreading payments throughout the year, or reducing the total amount to be paid, or both.

In order to be considered for a scholarship, financial assistance, or a fee payment schedule, you must complete the Scholarship and Financial Assistance Request Form, available from the Office of Faith Development. You must be a registered St. Thomas More parishioner to be considered for this program. The Office of Faith Development honors stewardship in the form of time and talent as well as treasure. Therefore Full-time Catechists, Catechist Assistants, and Volunteers receive free tuition for their children. Please prayerfully consider sharing your time and talent with the youth of our parish.

FEE PAYMENT SCHEDULE:

We appreciate full payment of fees upon registration because all supplies must be purchased in advance. However, families may apply for a quarterly fee payment schedule consisting of 4 equal payments, as follows:

First Payment: at Registration in August
Second payment: October 15
Third Payment: January 7
Final Payment: March 18

Those who fall behind in their quarterly payments will receive a reminder notice.
