We return a portion of our time, talent, and treasure to a generous God.  Families of St. Paul the Apostle Catholic School express their loyalty to our school and parish community by entering into a stewardship covenant.  Living a Stewardship Way of Life involves certain expectations, for example:

• For the most part, families attend Mass together in their parish church on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation.
• Families and students try to avail themselves of the many opportunities to give of their time and talent to the parish and to the school.
• In addition to Stewardship of Time and Talent, families and students should make financial contributions on a somewhat regular basis to exercise Stewardship of Treasure.  Little or no financial contributions to the church indicates inactivity in the parish.  We recommend that financial giving to the parish be according to the St. Paul Three-Way Giving Program, moving closer to the biblical tithe of 5% for parish, 2% for educational ministries, and 1% for the Annual Diocesan Appeal.

Parishioners of St. Paul the Apostle Church qualify for the parishioner tuition fees if they are living a Stewardship Way of Life as outlined in the Stewardship Covenant relationship they entered with their parish.   This would include active involvement in the parish, regular attendance as a family at Sunday Mass, and regular contributions to the parish via their church envelopes or through the “electronic transfer ” church contribution plan.  Even families with less financial means would be expected to give a minimum of $5.00 each Sunday in their church envelopes. 

If parishioners from other Catholic parishes enter a Stewardship Covenant relationship with their own parish, and this is verified by their pastor, they would qualify for parishioner tuition plus a $750 family Stewardship accommodation fee.

Please note that these Scholarships are based on the living of the faith life (church attendance as a family in your parish church, sharing of time and talent with the parish community of getting involved and participating in the life of the parish, and giving sacrificially to the parish).
