Parish Affiliation Form Reminder

/in /by

With returning student registration now under way, we wanted to remind families that a NEW Parish Affiliation Form must be completed each year to qualify for the Catholic Tuition Rate.  The 2025-2026 Parish Affiliation Form should NOT hold up your registration (which is due by 2/21/25) but must be received no later than June 30, 2025.

For parishioners of our 4 Manchester Catholic Churches, please remember that the parish name should be listed as “Saint Teresa of Calcutta” and the parish address is “80 Main Street, Manchester.”  These forms may be sent directly to our school office for the required signature.  All other parishes, please obtain your pastor’s signature before submitting to SJS.  Please reach out with any questions.
