Why do we have a Second Collection for SFC School?SFC asks once each month for a second collection to assist the parish school with much-needed supplemental funding to support its educational programs. We take great strides to ensure that SFC tuition remains at a rate that is affordable to most families. What many people do not realize is that tuition does not cover the actual cost of education. It is necessary for us to reach out to the community to help us bridge the gap between the tuition charged and the actual cost of education. Your support allows us to offer the benefits of an SFC education to as many children and families as possible. If you would like more information about how you can help SFC School, please contact John Bennett, SFC Vice Principal at 408-377-6545 or jbennett@sfcschool.org.
