I didn’t go to any catholic school, my mother did and kept me out of the catholic system.

I don’t think they started asking for tuition until the early ‘70s. They did expect parents to fill the “envelopes” on Sunday. Not sure it was a requirement. That would be backdoor tuition though.

He77, they couldn’t even provide Sunday School for about 3 years when I was a kid. I was in Central Bucks, we rarely ventured to Lower Bucks and didn’t even play football against even the public schools from down there when I was a kid.

The church did not GARA about the county. I can’t even tell you if there was a church between Doylestown and Bethlehem, and I sure don’t remember and football teams.

I know the people from Sell-Perk were assigned to Lansdale Catholic.
