St. Patrick School Family of the Day
Beginning in September, we will be praying for a St. Patrick School Family each day. The School Family of the Day will be listed on our Lunch + Events Calendar. As a school we will pray for the School Family of the Day after mass, and we ask your family at home to include the St. Patrick School Family of the Day in your family prayer. If you don’t already pray as a family – this is a simple way to get started.

Like many of these Family Time activities, you can play this in your car or whenever you have a few mintues.

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
