Announcements concerning cancelling Religious Education classes will be made on Channel 6, 10 and 12 as well as on their websites: Private Prayer: The Church and Our Holy Family Chapel are open daily for visits and private prayer. Quiet time with the Lord is time that will be graced and blessed by God. Please enter by the Community Life Center. Catholic School (GRADES K-8) TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS The underlying premise of the Catholic School Tuition Assistance Program is that financial assistance is based on need. In order to insure objectivity, the Diocesan Catholic School Office s policy requires that parents complete a financial aid application form that may be obtained from the Catholic school the child attends or plans to attend next year. The deadline for submitting applications is mid-february. In addition, a letter requesting consideration for assistance must be submitted to Msgr. Theroux as soon as possible but no later than the end of April. A second premise of the Catholic School Tuition Assistance Program is that it is meant to assist those families who are actively involved in the practice of the faith and in the life of their respective parish. Irrespective of the financial need, the following policies must be followed in order to be considered for financial assistance. --Families requesting assistance must follow church law on fulfilling the "Sunday" obligation to attend Mass. If the child lives with two parents who are Catholic, both parents must attend. It should also be by way of exception that a family attends Mass in a parish other than Holy Apostles. --At least one parent must be involved in a parish program/ministry. --Families must be regular contributors to the parish budget using the weekly envelopes or through Faith Direct.
