Definition of a Parishioner

For St. Leo's, a parishioner is one who embraces and supports our mission "as a parish within the Archdiocese of Newark... to be a community that is visible, caring and supportive.
Nourished in the Eucharist and sustained by the Word of God, we go forth into the world to act with justice, to love tenderly and to walk humbly with God."  The following
criteria are required of all school families who seek a tuition discount:

1. Register as a parishioner

2. Regular Sunday Mass participation

3. Use of Parish collection envelopes for at least 75% of of the Sundays of the year (no specific dollar amount is stipulated)

4. Faithful stewardship of time, talent and treasure to support St. Leo's Parish.

Finances of St. Leo's School

The operational costs of running St. Leo's school are paid for through the following sources:

• Tuition and Fees
  Which are determined based on the projected student enrollment and estimated fund raising.  The Technology Maintenance Fee is to cover internet, hardware and software and their related updates, security and supplies.
  
  Fees payable at registration:
  
  Registration Fee           $110   per family  ($200 after May 11)

              A 3% discount is offered on TUITION if paid in full at registration.

• Fundraising by the Home School Association (HSA)
  The school receives on half of the total income from the annual Parish Festival and Raffle.  All families must participate.
  All proceeds from scheduled fundraising  events throughout the year are used for the school and HSA functions.  These fundraisers are voluntary and all families are encouraged to support them.
