Please carefully read the following, which defines active parishioner status: All families of students attending St. Walter School are expected to be active parishioners in parish stewardship. Active participation in parish stewardship is defined in two parts. 1) Attending Mass at St. Walter Church at least once a month and completing a reflection sheet that is turned into the school office. 2) Registering for e-giving for the offertory as a routine giver. If no contribution record exists for reflection sheets or on the e-contribution agreement, tuition will be adjusted to the non-parishioners rate throughout the school year. Please see the table below for the prorated discount tuition rate if you become an active parishioner between the months indicated.
○ $1200 Jun-Aug
○ $900 Sep-Nov
○ $600 Dec-Feb
○ Any time after February 28, no discount will be applied.
