One thought-does your tuition change if families are not
Catholic and do not support the local parish financially
and/or with their service? My daughter's school (LCMS),
which gets about 60% of their students from outside the
local congregation does (there are more children attending
school daily than families who attend the church each
Sunday. On School Sundays, the sanctuary is filled to
overflowing), and I'm more than willing to pay it, since my
church doesn't have a school, and the LCMS school is an
excellent match to my family's beliefs. If you're not, it's
worth doing. A parochial school education is worth paying
for, and while I know it's your mission to serve the
neighborhood and to use the school to bring new families
into the church, that's not going to happen if the school
folds for lack of funds. Families who attend other churches,
or who choose parochial education for non-religious reasons
shouldn't object to being asked to pay for the privilege.
