That’s why I can’t figure out why this program is so expensive, especially when they went from bussing, food, etc…to you do all the work and it stayed the same price.

We understood the $125 a kid in their old program…I have no idea why now. I know they’ve been asked, but I don’t know if there’s ever been a public answer.
 
I’d definitely want to know. My parish charges $50 and I think that’s too high.
 
We’re actually paying $175 this year. It’s our middle child’s 1st communion year, so that’s an extra $50. Confirmation year is $300, all others are $125.

From everything I could find, thos is the most expensive place, and it looks like they lost a lot of families.

I know they did an end of the year survey, and I know price had to have come up with nearly every family. What bugs me is they didn’t do a Q/A portion answering any survey concerns.
 
Over the weekend was a student meeting and the kickoff Mass for the program.

According to my wife, maybe 30-35 kids were at the meeting. We weren’t able to make the kickoff Mass, but according to our neighbor it wasn’t any more full than any other Sunday.

If these numbers are right )and the numbers from the first parents night)…looks like they may have lost 60% (or more) from last year.
 
Sad. Hopefully these people have not been driven away from Christ completely 😦
 
We’re doing the second and fourth Sunday at our parish this year too!
 
No (at least I wouldn’t consider it that), I think they did lose a fair amount to the Lutheran church a few blocks over.

They carry a great reputation in town and I’ve heard families discussing the move last when the program initially started. I think they may have given it a year and moved… We’ve discussed making the move next year.
