St. Michael Catholic Steward Tuition Rate
The St. Michael Catholic Steward Tuition Rate is designed to support Catholic families in our St. Michael Parish community through a tuition discount. Catholic Steward families are those who are dedicated to raising their children in the Catholic faith. The family must be fully registered members of St. Michael Parish at the time of the Stewardship application and be active in the Parish community. We work hard to recognize their contributions to our parish by making Catholic education that matches those values more affordable. These active families attend Sunday Mass regularly and serve in the community through the gifts of time, talent, and treasure, and we are grateful for their dedication.
