Did you know that those little pink envelopes in your envelope set allow us to help qualifying families with school tuition? Just place your contribution in the PINK envelope and drop in the collection basket - it's that simple! Estimated need for the 2009-2010 school year is $102,000. A monthly contribution of less than $10 per month by each registered parish family would meet this need.
