Holy Moments

Listen to music that feeds your soul. Music is a powerful influence in life. It impacts how you think, how you see the world, and your emotions. So choose the music you listen to wisely and this week, make sure it’s music that feeds your soul. And remember, some moments are holy. Some moments are unholy. And you decide!

Tips to Create This Holy Moment:
– Ask your friends for their most inspiring music recommendations, make a playlist, and share it!
– Sing at church and really focus on the lyrics.
– Go through your favorite playlists and delete songs that aren’t a Holy Moment.

Volunteers Needed for Fish Fry Fridays!

Each family is asked to sign up for at least 1 slot to help this annual fundraiser for HSA!

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.
