Did you know using Scrip is one more way to financially support the parish in addition to tithing?  Every time you purchase a gift card through the Scrip program, either through the app, at the school office, or at the Scrip table after Mass, you are helping the parish fill our budget shortfall.  The beauty of this program, it is FREE to use!  Now is a great time to start using the program to help you with your holiday shopping, whether to give as gifts or to purchase gifts to give.  For example, if you purchase $300 of Amazon, $75 of Bass Pro, $50 of Lowe’s, $50 of Cabela’s, $60 of Panera (low denomination for teacher gifts), $90 of Sonic (low denomination for teacher gifts), $30 of McDonald’s (low denomination for stockings), $10 of Buffalo Wild Wings (low denomination for stockings), and $300 of Walmart gift cards you will earn approximately $45 in rebates to help the parish.  If 100 parish families did this, the rebates earned would add up to $4,500.  If a quarter of our parish families did this, the rebates earned would add up to $11,2050 in FREE money!!!  This is just one example of the power of the Scrip program to help fund budget shortfalls!  Visit our table after Masses to find out more information, or call Esther DeGraff at 660.827.3800 or email Jen Cordia at scrip@gogremlins.com.
