PARTNERSHIP AND EXPECTATIONS OF OUR FAMILIES

• Active participation in the parent community

• • Catholic Identity:
    • We want to live as a Christian community who supports one another in the faith. Families are committed to our mission and as the domestic church who intentionally seeks conversion: to grow in virtue, holiness and discipleship. Families respect the sacramental and moral  life of our Catholic heritage and with special attention with keeping holy the Sabbath. 
  • Financial Support:
    • Staying current with Tuition Payment Schedule
    • Fundraisers are hosted throughout the year and it is expected for school families to provide support financially and/or by volunteering.
  • Volunteer With Us:
    • Each family donates 20 hours (a single parent family requires 10 hours) of volunteer time, which directly benefits the children at the school. 
    • All volunteers must meet the AOD Safe Environment requirements. 
      • This includes a Criminal Background check and a completed Protecting God’s Children workshop.
