(4/13)  Catholic Schools Referral Form

Do you know a family with school age children who might be interested in Catholic education? Fill out this form and it will be sent directly to the Office of Catholic Schools at the Diocese of Grand Rapids. They will contact the family.  Your name will not be used.  Personal contact has been shown to be the single most important factor in a family's school decisions. According to Superintendent Dave Faber, Diocese of Grand Rapids data shows that 40% of the families who are contacted will make an appointment to visit the school.
