They give donation envelopes to kids in first grade and preach to them
about donating. The nuns collected them to be sure you turned it in
every week. That is indoctrination, not teaching charity.

I grew up in Philadelphia that had a mediocre public school system and
not notch Catholic school system, one of the best in the country. I got
a good education and my parents donated to pay for it. At a fairly early
age though, I questioned some of the religious aspects of it.

The priest at our church did not prey on the alter boys though. He
knocked up a high school girl.
