Timeline

Contributing Parish Family Rate

You must be a registered member of the following parishes — All Saints, Immaculate Conception, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, St. Matthew, St. Pius X, or St. Wenceslaus — to receive the in-parish tuition rate.  Parish affiliation will be verified in all cases.

Our supporting parishes contribute a financial subsidy toward each student parishioner's tuition at Regis.  These subsidies help reduce the amount our families pay in tuition.  Therefore, we highly encourage each family to be actively involved in their parishes -- through weekly attendance, service and financial support.  

We greatly appreciate the support of our parishes and encourage our families return that support to them through weekly mass attendance, service to their parish communities and contributing to the financial needs of their parish.
