Stewardship, Tuition, Fees, & Aid
Stewardship
Immaculate Conception Parish has embraced full stewardship. Stewardship is rooted in the Sacred Scriptures and is an expression of our gratitude to God.
Acts 4:32 & 34 (Putting God first means putting others first)
"The community of believers were of one heart and one mind.  None of them ever claimed anything as their own; rather, everything was held in common... nor was there anyone needy among them."
Active parishioners, ones who are full stewardship members of the parish, may attend ICS with no tuition. An active parishioner is defined as someone who:
  • attends Mass weekly
  • makes an annual written commitment to generously share their time, talent, and treasure
  • follows through on those commitments.
Recommended family goals for sharing treasure are 5% of net income to the parish, and 5% of net to other charities.  That being said, stewardship is about equal sacrifice, not equal gifts.  1 Peter 4:10 says, "As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace."

ICS tuition is eligible for the Illinois school tax credit. There is a 5% tuition discount if paid up front in August, or a 2.5% discount if paid in 2 installments, August & December. 
Fees
All parents, whether active parishioners or not, are also responsible for a book bill, lab fee, and additional fees (includes Diocesan test, technology fees, and some field trips) for each child. This amount varies by grade.
Kindergarten : $300         Grades 1-5: $375          Grades 6-8 : $350
**New students grades 5-8 add $40 for new student Bible.  
​
Financial Aid
We would also like to remind families who are not parishioners that the ICS Scholarship Fund, funded by ICS Parents and Friends, is available to tuition assistance for families with financial need. The application process is simple and strictly confidential. Since the application is mailed direct to the company administering the scholarship program, no one at school or in the parish sees your application. We want your child to be part of the ICS family, so please do not hesitate to apply.
