TUITION AND SCHOLARSHIPS

Holy Moments

Catch someone in the act of a Holy Moment. It’s time to turn on your Holy Moment radar! When you keep an eye out for Holy Moments, you’ll notice them all around…at school and at home! Next time you see someone create a Holy Moment, point it out to them and say thank you! And remember, some moments are holy. Some moments are unholy. And you decide!

Tips to Create This Holy Moment:
– Try to notice someone creating a Holy Moment every single day…and praise them for it!
– When you see a Holy Moment on social media, share it with your loved ones.
– Teach a younger child about Holy Moments!

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.
