St Andrew The Apostle Parish

What St Andrew The Apostle Parish does

St. Andrew the Apostle Parish is a Roman Catholic parish and K-8 school located on a single campus at 6415 NE Antioch Road in Gladstone, Missouri, operating under the Diocese of Kansas City–St. Joseph. The parish traces its Eucharistic Adoration Society to 1999, has been recognized as an official Jubilee Pilgrimage site, and is led by Pastor Fr. Eric A. Schneider with Principal Mrs. Jennifer Draper heading the school. Its core offering is two-fold: weekly Mass, the seven sacraments (Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Eucharist, Reconciliation, Holy Orders, Holy Matrimony, Anointing of the Sick), and a portfolio of more than 20 ministries (Knights of Columbus, Legion of Mary, Cursillo, Catholic in Recovery, Life Mercy and Love, Serra Club, Small Faith Groups, among others); and a Catholic school delivering preschool through 8th-grade education with weekly Mass and Adoration integrated into the curriculum, plus athletics via the Kansas City Parochial League.

The technology base is a packaged SaaS stack rather than proprietary infrastructure: an eCatholic-powered website (sataps.com), PushPay for online and text-to-give donations (with PCI DSS Level 1 payment processing), Church Community Builder (CCB) for parish registration, school enrollment, and event sign-ups, and SignUpGenius for volunteer scheduling. There is no custom-built platform or developer-facing product surface; "products" are service programs rather than software.

The economic model blends recurring subscription-like tuition with sacrificial giving. K-8 parishioner tuition is $6,400-$14,200 per year depending on number of students, with a stated true cost of $7,100 per student that the parish subsidizes; preschool tuition runs $3,500-$7,000 annually; one-time registration fees are $1,550-$1,800 per family. The non-tuition parishioner rate requires documented parish giving for 12 months, mechanically linking enrollment economics to stewardship. A $6.00/day hot lunch and milk program, a 2026 stewardship campaign, an active Plaza & Playground capital fundraising effort, and a retail subsidiary (Morning Star Catholic Gifts) sit alongside tuition and offertory as auxiliary revenue sources. The go-to-market is community-led and direct: word-of-mouth referrals, parish outreach, school tours and shadow days, weekly bulletins, the church website, and Facebook/YouTube — there is no external sales motion.
