For parish families seeking a "Participating Catholic" tuition discount voucher
St. Gabriel Catholic Church families,
Greetings! Our parish is grateful to support you in the commitment your family has made to Catholic education. We have 600+ parish families and more than 1,000 students attending Catholic school this year. In January 2021, our parish updated its criteria for famillies seeking the substantial MACS "Participating Catholic" tuition discount. I believe you will welcome the changes. I know we share the desire for a relationship that is transformational - not transactional. Relationship is truly the focus of our new process.
PARISH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT
Families must be registered at St. Gabriel Church at least 6 months before submitting a voucher request to the parish office. If transferring from another parish, you will need to provide a letter from your former parish identifying you as a participating member.
IMPORTANT TO KNOWOur parish is assessed $900 for each of your MACS students this year (e.g., $1800 for 2 children) - totalling more than 25% of our offertory. As a guide:
- When your annual offertory exceeds what St. Gabriel is contributing to MACS for your family, you are also supporting our parish's mission and ministries.
- When your annual offertory is less than what our parish is contributing to MACS for your family, other St. Gabriel parishioners are supporting your family.
HOW TO REQUEST A TUITION VOUCHER- Watch the 15 minute video message below. I ask both parents to do so.
- Print and complete a "Commitment Card", which includes the 3 elements of spiritual leadership for fully participating members of our parish. Form is linked below. Due to the confidentiality of the form, it is not available to complete online.
- Send your signed Commitment Card and tuition voucher request to the church office:
- By mail, to the attention of Andy Albritton, Lay Parochial Associate, St. Gabriel Catholic Church, 3016 Providence Road, Charlotte, NC 28211
- OR scan and send by email to our parish registration staff at [email protected].
AFTER WE RECEIVE YOUR VOUCHER REQUEST
Approved voucher requests are sent by the St. Gabriel Church office directly to the MACS office. PLEASE CONTACT THE MACS office for status updates, if needed. Due to the volume of tuition voucher requests, we do not notify you, personally, if we are approving your voucher.
If your voucher request is not approved, Andy Albritton, our Lay Parochial Associate, or I will contact you.
It is my prayer that you experience the fullness of life in Christ here as a parishioner of St. Gabriel Catholic Church.
Peace and joy in Christ,
Fr. Richard
Pastor, St. Gabriel Catholic Church
