Letter from Father Leo re: Tuition Status 2027-2028
Dear Parents,
Every year the parish must determine a family’s status regarding their tuition category for the
following school year. Typically, eligibility for registered, active, and participating status
(Category 1) is based upon the following:
1. At least one parent and the children must be baptized Catholic, proof of which must be
given to the school office.
2. Must be registered as a parishioner for one calendar year (12 months) prior to
registration/re-registration. Tuition status will only be determined in January at new
registration/re- registration. There will be no change in tuition status after January 15.
There will be no changes made to tuition status at any other time of the year.
3. Strong weekly attendance at Sunday mass. There are four masses on all weekends:
Saturday at 5:00 pm, Sunday 9:00 am, 11:00 am and 5:00 pm. While all of us lead busy lives,
absolute priority must be given to a family, participating weekly together in the Eucharist.
Children learn what they live. Friday morning school mass does not satisfy your Sunday
obligation. Weekly Mass attendance is verified and recorded through the submission of
Sunday envelopes.
4. Strong financial support of the parish through regular weekly Sunday offerings, giving to the
best of your family’s ability. Families must use parish envelopes. If you give using
Preauthorized payment, you must indicate this, on the outside of your regular weekly Sunday
parish envelope. Please bring your envelope with you when you come to each Sunday mass and
place it in the basket at the time of collection. The Parish records submitted envelopes in
order to verify attendance.
5. Involvement in the life of the Parish by volunteering time, talent and resources at liturgical
services, parish events, and outreach activities. You are strongly encouraged to follow the
bulletin and visit our webpage for more information on opportunities for involvement.
Examples of areas you can volunteer in: Music Ministry, Liturgy of the Word with children,
Eucharistic Ministry, Lectors, Inner Hope meal preparation, Coffee Sunday, and Hospitality,
among others.
As parents, you are the first teachers of your children in the ways of faith. The eucharist is the
source and summit of our Catholic Christian belief system. It is this premise that is the core of
the parish and the school of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. We cannot state strongly enough how
important it is to regularly come together in these challenging times. We are in this together.
In the Redeemer,
Fr Leo G. English C.Ss.R.
Pastor Our Lady of Perpetual Help
