Stewardship

St. Jude parish is a full stewardship parish, and as such, all church ministries (including the school) are supported through the tithing of parishioners. This means the children of active parishioners attending St. Jude School pay no tuition. The Diocese defines an active parishioner as a registered Catholic who attends Mass regularly and makes an annual stewardship statement.

All Parishioners of St. Jude are asked once a year to prayerfully decide what they can return to God through the parish in the areas of time, talent, and treasure. More information concerning the parish can be found at www.stjudechattanooga.org .

Tuition will continue to be charged for out-of-parish and non-Catholic students.
