Religious Education tuition at the parish covers less than 1/3 of Religious Education expenses. Those expenses do not include any cost for facilities, such as maintenance or HVAC, or most of the equipment that is used. The costs are mostly to pay for staff who are still needed to develop and guide content plus administrative functions; i.e. registration, accounting, communications. Our tuition is $85 for those who register before July 15, $8.50 per child, per month.
Nevertheless, it has always been our policy that Religious Education is available to all, regardless of ability to pay. The payment plan/tuition assistance form (PPTA) is available on the website, you can download and submit to Joyce, jguris@transfiguration.com.
