The PASS (Program to Assure Student Success) 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 & need additional help in their tuition.

The PASS program provides each of us with an opportunity to make a difference in the life of one child.

I ask you to help our students continue their education at St. Peter’s School. Your donation to the PASS Program will help to assure their future and achieve his or her dreams. Please fill out one of the forms at the entrances to the church or in the weekly parish bulletin and return it to the parish office or place it in the collection basket.
