Catholic schools have always required tuition. This used to be a pretty nominal sum for the children of parishioners, but as teaching sisters and brothers have thinned, and we have had to pay regular salaries to lay folk, tuition has risen right along with everything else. Part of the tuition was considered to be the families' regular Sunday contribution, and for this reason, tuition for non-parishioners was always higher. Some individual parishes have managed to keep tuition very low, if not non-existent, due to parish support of the school, and the labor of religious men and women.
