Financial Support/Registration

Financial support collected solely supports the ministry and our youth. Your financial support offsets the curriculum and other materials and resources used throughout the year. The parish subsidizes over half of the cost for each child from weekly parishioner contributions, but without your support to the ministry we would not be able to offer the quality of ministry that we do.

Please choose one of the following (on who you are enrolling on this form):

For all children in Sac Prep 2 and TIPS preparing to celebrate the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion this year, an additional form will be emailed in January 2026 that will include additional sacramental registration information and a Sacramental Prep fee of $40 to cover the cost of the additional resources.

I am able to financially support above and beyond the $115 per youth for STA youth ministries and for families who are unable to financially support the ministries at this time. All additional support will go directly to the Religious Education Program. We sincerely appreciate your generosity.

Yes No

How much above and beyond are you able to support this ministry at this time?
