Nativity Church is firmly committed to the value of Catholic education as it is offered through Nativity Catholic School.  As a parish community, we view our school as an important ministry through which we share our Catholic faith with our families and their children.
 
The cost of providing a quality Catholic education is an ever-increasing reality.  Because of the great value that is associated with our Catholic school, the cost is a shared responsibility between our parish monetary investments and school parents (tuition).  The sacrifice that is made by our parish community and school families is extraordinary but it is a sacrifice that is very worthwhile because of the many blessings which are received through Nativity Catholic School.
 
In order to keep tuition at an affordable level, fundraising is a necessary component of the overall financial structure of our school.  As a member of our school community, each school family is expected to support the major fundraising effort that is offered each year to support Nativity Catholic School.
