• The registration fee for our programs is $65 per child.  You will be redirected to the payment page after filling out the form.  No family will be turned away for inability to pay.  Please contact us confidentially if you would like to request a scholarship.

• Registration Fees for Catechesis classes will be waived for children of weekly adult volunteers who contribute their time to the Catechesis Program as Catechists, Assistant Catechists, Faith Friends, or Resource Room Aides.

• There is a $75 fee (non-waivable) in addition to Catechesis Registration fees for any student going through the Sacrament Preparation program for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist (typically 2nd Grade). The amount of this fee is determined by the overall cost of the preparation materials per child.  Families will be sent the link to pay the Sacrament Preparation fee after they complete this form in addition to registration.  The Diocese of Austin requires children to participate in catechesis for the two years leading up to the reception of First Reconciliation and First Communion.  Email natalie-mohr@sttaustin.org if you have any questions.

• If you have children to be enrolled in both Children's Catechesis and Middle School Youth programs, you may use one registration form to register everyone.
