Did you know that you (and everyone in Ohio) can choose to give the money you/they usually pay in state taxes to an SGO (Scholarsip Granting Organization) called Emmaus Road Scholarship?  That's right, you have to pay the money anyway, but Ohio will let you give that money to families seeking Catholic Educations for their children!  Is this a great state or what!?!?  It's like you get to choose where you want your state taxes to go!  Check it out for yourslf: https://emmausroadscholarship.org
Please contact Michelle Lantz [email protected] with questions.
The way we look at it is if everyone donated that money to the SGO instead of paying their state taxes to the state, every student in the school would get money off their tuition!

Saint Matthew the Apostle Catholic Parish (and some other parishes) provide/s practicing and participating members of the parish a tuition grant. "Participating membership" at St. Matthew Parish is defined by diocesan policy, and along with Christian discipleship as follows:

•   Be registered as a parishioner and attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days.
•   Volunteer 'time and talent' in service to the parish (consider 1 hour per week) and track that ministry work in Track It Forward (link at the bottom of our homepage).
•   Contribute regularly to the financial support of the parish via envelopes, checks or electronic contributions (suggested 1 hour of weekly income - 2.5%).
