[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find the part about getting the card signed at a different Mass the most objectionable. I am an adult and can manage my family’s spiritual life. No one needs to take attendance.[/quote]

I find it incredibly insulting and would not appreciate the priest treating me like a child and then charging if I don't turn it in?  He literally has no right.[/quote]

Then don't go there. I had a child attend this school and there were security threats while my DC was there. They were handled swiftly and appropriately, in my opinion. This is a sensitive topic and the cost of security is exorbitant. I find it ironic that so many people are up in arms because one of the smaller, less wealthy parishes is making this decision based on finances. What do you expect them to do? Go volunteer as a security guard if you feel so strongly about it.[/quote]

I think a priest demanding you have another priest sign a card as proof is [b]insulting and patronizing[/b].  I assume these families are donating money to his church.[/quote]
You’ve already said that. But as an active parishioner, you are getting a significant financial subsidy. Why should they just take you at your word that you are meeting the requirements they set for your reduced tuition and not ask for proof? My job subsidizes metro costs for employee transportation, but I have to show proof that I use it, they don’t just give me a monthly stipend because I say I’m using metro. [/quote]

Our child goes to one of the most conservative parochial schools in the diocese, and this is definitely not a requirement at our school. Probably in part because it's so conservative basically everyone is at Mass on Sunday. We're often sitting near our daughter's classmates' families. Yes, we do make sure to use our envelope when we contribute, but we don't feel undue pressure. [/quote]
