With God…We Are Watched Over

God’s angels are always there to help you.  You may not be able to see them, but God promises they are there.  Angels aren’t fairies or make-believe characters.  They are real—as real as you and me and the God we all serve.  It is so comforting knowing they are protecting us!

As we travel through life, God’s angels are there caring for us and protecting us.  They are watching over us always!

Jesus, thank You for sending angels to protect me.  Help me to trust You always.

“He will order his angels to protect and guard you.” – Luke 4:10

(Each week we focus on a reason why WITH GOD nothing shall be impossible!)

Feast of Saint Nicholas

The spirit of St. Nicholas makes a visit to St. Patrick school each Dec. 6th and leaves a treat in student shoes in honor of St. Nicholas’ Feast Day.

Students may wear comfy clothes & fun socks this day as they will be removing their shoes during their morning class.

• All comfy clothes are allowed – please no shorts or bare shoulders!

(Christmas / Religious socks are encouraged – but not mandatory 🙂

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.
