Non-Parishioner Family SUBSIDY:  $150.00/yr
In addition to program tuition, we ask that each family who is not a practicing member of our parish pay this subsidy to help offset the amount of total program expense covered by the weekly donations of our many active parishioners.  A non-parishioner family is one who is either registered in another parish, or not formally "registered" in our parish and therefore does not receive or use parish envelopes for weekly donations, etc.
