b. Children from parishes without schools
c. Children from parishes with schools (for sufficient reason)
d. Children from non-Catholic families
If approved by the pastor, and where practical, siblings may receive special consideration. -

This means that the Catholic Church is where you would worship, attend Mass on weekends, and contribute financially.
