All school families are required to identify their yearly Tuition Payment Plan through FACTS.  Please note that the FACTS payment portal charges transaction fees for payment arrangements.  
 

Parishioner Tuition Rates

St. Theresa’s Catholic School is a ministry of the parish. Students at the school whose parents/guardians are participating members of St. Theresa’s Church are eligible for the discounted parishioner tuition rate. The parish provides the physical facilities for school operations and financially subsidizes the school. 

Non-Parishioner Tuition Rates

The school welcomes children who are parishioners of other parishes or who may not be Catholic. The tuition for these students is higher than those who are parishioners. All students, however, are regarded as full members of the school community.

For the purposes of determining whether parish families qualify for parishioner rates the following conditions need to be met: 

1.  Registered with St. Theresa Catholic Church at least one year prior to the beginning date of the school year.         

2.  Supports the parish according to their means by:

      a. Parish envelope

      b. E-giving (credit card or electronic check)

      c. Individual check

      d. Corporate gift matching program

3.   Participates in the Liturgy and ministries of the Parish

Families joining St. Theresa’s from another parish will be considered for the parishioner rate if (1) able to produce a letter from the former parish stating active membership in good standing.  This letter must be signed by the pastor, (2) become registered parishioners of St. Theresa Catholic Church, (3) begin evidential (recordable) offertory giving.  

All families with the parishioner rate will be evaluated each year for evidential offertory support and may be transitioned to non-parishioner status.
