Attention All Families!

Did you know that you can help SCL by shopping? We call it “SCRIP”.

St. Catherine has an inventory of some gift cards from hundreds of area merchants including grocery stores, home centers, gas stations and many restaurants that you can purchase dollar for dollar. The parish purchases the cards at discounted prices and when you buy them, a percentage of the sale is given to the parish. (if it is not in our inventory, you can order it for delivery w/in the week)

For example, if you purchase a $100 gift card for Dierberg’s to buy your weekly groceries, the parish makes $5. Over a year, you would donate $260.00. It’s like giving free money to the parish.

The cards are available for purchase by cash or check made payable: SCL SCRIP

· After all weekend Masses

· Monday-Friday in the Parish Business Office: 8:30am-4:30pm.

· During normal school hours, buy them from the school office.

· Or, you may notice several women carrying pouches on the parking lot at dismissal. These volunteers sell the cards directly to you at your car!

Did you know that the SCRIP program recently donated approximately $28,000 to the parish?

· A little over $14,000 paid for the new Bell and Clock system for the SCHOOL.

· Approximately $13,500 was used to upgrade the electric and install a new phone system in the PARISH Business office.

It seems simple but getting started is the hard part. We can’t do it alone. We challenge you to start small by purchasing the amount for your weekly grocery shopping. Give it a try. It’s easy and everybody wins!
