by sending a subsidy request to their Pastor. St. Joseph Parishioners must submit a subsidy request to Fr. Stephen Banjare by April 14th.
(Forms available in the School Office). Non-Parishioners need to contact their own Pastors.
Diocesan Assistance:
Additional Financial Assistance based on family need is also available from the Foundation for the Advancement of Catholic Education (FACE) for students in grades K-8. Apply online.
