St.
James Cathedral Parish is a contributing member of the Rainbow Schools
Coalition, a program whereby several parishes without schools contribute to the
support of the five Catholic Elementary Schools in the central area of the city.
Our participation not only makes it possible for Catholic education to continue
in this area, it also allows children from our parish to attend one of the
schools at parishioner tuition rates.
St.
James Cathedral Parish has established a scholarship fund to assist families in
meeting the financial obligation involved in sending their elementary school age
children to any one of the Rainbow Schools.
