Heart of a Child Presentation & Diaper Drive
On Wednesday October 29th, Heart of a Child Ministries will be sharing their Celebration of Life presentation with our school and community. All are welcome!
Heart of a Child Ministries is an Omaha-based, nationally recognized education ministry that brings live ultrasound presentations to both children and adults with registered sonographers, master’s level social workers and pregnant volunteers. People of all ages love to see the miracle of life in the womb, listen to the heartbeat, and hear the joy-filled truth about God’s love for the preborn person and for all His children through Scripture and spiritual teaching.
We are seeking one to two pregnant volunteers who are willing to share their babies with our community and students through this live ultrasound presentation. Ideal time of pregnancy is 20-33 weeks. Times needed on October 29th: 11:30-1pm and 1-2:30pm. The ultrasound portion of the presentation is just 10-15 minutes long and is safe for you and the baby. If you are interested in volunteering and sharing the gift of life with our students or have any questions, please contact Megan Weigel at Megan-Weigel@cdolinc.net.
In the spirit of giving, our school will be collecting baby items and diapers for St. Gianna’s pregnancy center. Please bring to school on or before October 29th!
Please go to www.heartofachildministries.org for more information. Video trailers of all presentations can be watched at www.heartofachildministries.org/presentations/.

Fundraisers
SCRIP
What is Scrip? “Scrip” turns everyday shopping into cash for the St. Patrick Church and School. Purchase gift cards at face value in advance to use at checkout, instead of paying with credit, debit card, check or cash.
How Does It Work? Purchase gift cards at face value from local merchants who designate their own discount percentage ranging from 1.5% to 30%. The discount amount translates to profit for the St. Patrick!
- $50 Marcus Theatres gift card at 8% = $4 St. Patrick profit
- $100 Walmart gift card at 2.% = $2.50 St. Patrick profit
Purchase SCRIP before shopping by filling out this form and turning it into the parish office or call in your order to the rectory at 402.466.2752 and we can prepare your order ahead for you. SCRIP can also be purchased at the parish office or after weekend masses.
We’re excited to share that our school is participating in Cash for Classrooms, part of Casey’s Rewards. This opens up St. Patrick School to new funding opportunities to help improve learning environments for students.
The best part? Donations don’t come out of your own pocket. When you buy from Casey’s and use their rewards program you can simply turn your points into a donation to our school.
Help St. Patrick School make the most of this program and learn more at Caseys.com/schools.
