Families seeking a $500 tuition reduction per eligible student are invited to participate in the Parish Verification process. This process helps ensure that the support provided by our parishes is sustaining actively engaged Catholic families.
Parish Verification is a simple, two-step process:
Complete a short form
Meet briefly with your parish priest
During this meeting, your participation in parish life will be reviewed and affirmed. If you have any questions, concerns, updates that you'd like the priest to know, it's a great opportunity to meet face-to-face with them and discuss these things.
What Does It Mean to Be a Participating Parishioner?
A participating parishioner is someone who:
Attends Mass regularly
Volunteers or serves in parish ministries
Gives financial support to their parish
These three areas reflect a commitment to living out the faith within the parish community.
Why This Matters
The Good Shepherd parish provides significant financial support each year to Kuemper Catholic Schools. This investment helps make Catholic education more accessible for families within our parish communities.
Parish Verification ensures that this support is aligned with families who are actively contributing to the life of the Church. It’s a shared commitment—our parish supports Catholic education, and in turn, families support their parish through active participation.
