The Parish Religion Program (PRP) at St. Margaret of York exists to serve the formation needs of its parishioners. Your tuition payment covers about 40% of the cost for PRP. Our parish shares the responsibility of educating its children in the faith. The real cost of educating our PRP children is $190.00 per child.
The Administration and Finance Commission of the parish determines PRP tuition. Every attempt is made to keep increases at a minimum. Tuition has remained the same for six years, but this year, because of increased costs, we need to raise fees. Tuition covers books, materials, catechist support, cleaning, general overhead, and formation opportunities.
Parish Religion Program fees for 2010-2011 summer and winter sessions are:
Active SMOY Parishioners
1 child $135.00
2 children $240.00
3 children or more $300.00
Active parishioners are those who regularly worship at SMOY, or at another parish from which they have recently moved, and have done so for a minimum of six months prior to registration including all of the following: regular Sunday Mass attendance, support of sacramental programs, participation in religious formation programs. A yearly stewardship pledge with fulfillment: volunteer time and talent in ministries and organizations associated with the parish, financial support of the church to the best of the family’s ability.
Parishioner status will be reviewed on an annual basis. Families who do not fulfill the above will be considered non-parishioners and assessed non-parishioner tuition for the following year. Please contact the parish office or the religious education office if special circumstances occur.
SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION
Sacramental preparation is part of the instruction included in Summer and Sunday PRP for 2nd and 8th graders and is enriched by experiences outside the classroom.
Preparation for those seeking Confirmation includes participation in a PRP session, small faith group participation, stewardship experience, and a retreat.
In addition to PRP, preparation for 2nd graders includes parent formation evenings for Reconciliation and Eucharist and mini-retreats.
