Families must have been registered parishioners at SMM church by October 1st, 2016, to be eligible for 1st day registration (for SMM parishioners only) for the school year. 2.) If families were registered, active members of SMM Parish who contributed a minimum of $20 per week in the 1st collection (at least $1040 annually) at weekly Mass, from January 1st to December 31st, 2016, they are automatically considered supporting members and qualify for the SMM Parish tuition rate. At the end of each calendar year, the parish supplies the school with a list of families who qualify for the SMM discounted rates for the upcoming school year. Families are urged to use church support envelopes, so that donations may be identified and posted to each family's account at the parish. Remember, that Church donations may be tax deductible. NOTE: Some families of our parish are truly supporting members even though they are unable to contribute at the above level. They are invited to meet with the pastor, Father Grice, so he can make this determination. b) If you are a registered, active, supporting member of another Catholic church and have a voucher from that parish, you do not pay the Support Fee. You can obtain a voucher from your pastor. We cannot waive this fee until the voucher has been received. The voucher must be submitted to St. Margaret Mary School by May 31, c) If you are not a registered, active, supporting member of any parish, you must pay the support fee of $350 per student. This fee is non-refundable after school year begins.
