Qualifications for Active Parishioner Rate
Families who are Registered and Active Parishioners of St. Martin de Porres Parish, who attend Sunday Mass every week, and use their envelopes for church contributions. A minimum contribution of $800.00 a year is required to qualify for Active Parishioner Status. Please note that this is a minimum contribution. It is the obligation of every Catholic to support their Parish with a sacrificial donation according to their means and to attend Mass every Sunday (or Saturday evening) and on Holy Days of Obligation.
This is the culmination of your child’s Catholic School education, participating in the Eucharist with their families on the Lord’s Day. Accordingly, lump sum payments at the end of the year are not acceptable.
Any family not meeting the criteria for Active Parishioner Tuition Rate will be moved to Non-Parishioner tuition
Rate. Records of Sunday Mass attendance and contributions are reviewed regularly through the envelope system.
Since tuition covers less than 80% of the cost of educating a child, the rest is made up with fund raising and support from the Church. Our Parish is one body, Church and School. The basis for the reduced tuition rate for Active Parishioners is that they are supporting our Church which in turns supports our school. Without the support of the Church and the tremendous fund raising of our PSA, tuition would be much higher.
Thank you for the sacrifices you make to give your child(ren) a Catholic School education, for the trust you place in our school, and for your cooperation with regard to our financial policy. Please know that we cherish our children and their families and are here to serve you. May God bless you and your family and keep you in His Love.
