St. Peter’s Tri-Parish School PASS (Program to Assure Student Success)

The PASS program will provide financial assistance to deserving students who are presently enrolled in St. Peter’s Tri-Parish School. Although a variety of scholarships is available for members of St. Peter’s Parish, there are still students who have genuine financial hardships and need additional help with their tuition.

The PASS program provides each of us with an opportunity to make a difference in the life of one child. Please consider helping a student achieve his or her dreams.

Thank you for your support in assuring student success. All donors will be remembered in our monthly school Mass and in the daily prayers of our children.

May God bless you abundantly for your generosity.
