From the Parish: All of our families who receive in-parish tuition rate have received a Stewardship letter from Father Scott clarifying his expectation of those families who have stated that they are practicing Catholics at one of our Rainbow parishes. Any questions about registration, mass attendance and tithing should be made directly with the respective parish secretaries. They are the people in consultation with Fr. Scott who sign off on in-parish status.
