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 Raising Canes gift card at 30% = $15.00 St. Patrick profit
$50 Marcus Theatres gift card at 8% = $4 St. Patrick profit
$100 Walmart gift card at 2.% = $2.50 St. Patrick profit

Click here for the SCRIP order form . SCRIP can be purchased at the parish office or after weekend masses.
