Families can choose to meet their Family Commitment by being an active parishioner family, or by contributing $4,000 per family. (Or both, of course!). The Family Commitment Fee will be waived for active parishioners.
An active parishioner family is one in which at least one of the parents is a baptized Catholic, registered in the parish, contributing to the life of the parish community through stewardship, regular attendance at Mass, and participation in ministry, programs and activities.
To confirm that a family has been active in the parish, parents will meet annually with our pastor, Fr. Brett Williams for 30 minutes, and fill out a pre-meeting information form. The meeting schedule is released in December, and meetings occur from January to March, before tuition contracts are due. To be considered an active parishioner family, meetings must be scheduled before January 31st. Fr. Brett reserves the right to determine if a family is considered active. Families who join outside of this cycle are invited to contact Fr. Brett directly to schedule a meeting. Fr. Brett can be reached over email at [email protected] or over the phone at (773) 327-8955 Ext. 4222.
New families that would like to be considered active parishioners or would like their Family Commitment Fee waived, can set up a meeting with Fr Brett at their earliest convenience. New families can set up a meeting through this link, contact Fr Brett over email at [email protected] over the phone at (773) 327-8955 Ext. 4222.
