With God…We Are Guided

It is important to remember that shepherds can’t always keep the bad things away from sheep.  You’ll still run into mean people.  You will still sometimes not get along with your siblings or classmates.  But Jesus will always be there to help turn you around and get you headed back in the right direction.

Jesus, thank you for the blessed life that you have invited me live. I trust you to care for me.  I am safe in You.—Amen.

“I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep.  Those who come in through me will be saved” John 10:9

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

Trunk or Treat

We need YOU to host a trunk, volunteer to help, or donate candy! Please sign up to volunteer at https://rb.gy/ei6g8e – we need lots of ‘trunks’, candy, and helpers to make this night a success!
(candy donations can be brought to the school office or left in the designated area in the narthex)

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.
