Saint Pius the Tenth Catholic Church Parish & Stewardship Participation A significant portion of St. Pius the Tenth s resources go to support the Ministry of Catholic Education. This support includes substantial subsidies to St. Pius X Catholic School and 3.5% of our total offertory which is sent to Bishop McGuinness High School. Families directly benefitting from the Ministry of Catholic Education are expected to assist the parish in its obligations to these institutions and to our Diocese. A Triad Area Catholic Schools Parish Participation Voucher must be signed each year by all parishioners to assure that Catholic families are active participants of their parish. This voucher is signed upon registration/re-registration. A review of participation will be held periodically to determine if the household is eligible for the subsidized Catholic rate of tuition. Should it be determined that the household is not eligible for the parish subsidy, it is the responsibility of the family household to pay the non-participating Catholic rate of tuition. (Taken from the SPX Student Handbook) The support of one s parish is a precept of the Church. The faithful also have the duty of providing for the material needs of the Church, each according to his abilities. (Paragraph 2043, Catechism of the Catholic Church.) As Christian stewards, we receive God s gifts gratefully, cultivate them responsibly, share them lovingly in justice with others, and return them with increase to the Lord. (The U.S. Bishop s Letter on Stewardship.) St. Pius the Tenth may subsidize tuition for active members who are described as being not only registered at St. Pius, but actively involved. Active membership is determined by living up to the basic responsibilities of stewardship, giving of your time, talent and treasure. We ask that all families who benefit from the Ministry of Education at St. Pius X seriously consider their commitment to Stewardship. Each active member household of St. Pius should complete and return their Stewardship Commitment Form. If you would like to meet with parish administration to discuss your commitment to Stewardship, this can be arranged. We, as Catholic, believe that the Eucharist is the source and summit of our spiritual life, empowering our ministries and forming us more perfectly in the life and love of Christ. Thus, the Church expects Catholics to manifest their commitment and devotion to this great Sacrament by regular attendance at Mass on Sundays and Holy Days. Families need to illustration their active presence by utilizing their envelopes at liturgies.
