Holy Moments

Do something extra to help out at home. Helping out at home is a big responsibility—especially as you grow older. Let’s take some time now to think about something that needs to get done at home, like the dishes or the laundry or cleaning up your room *pause*. Now, think about how much it would help the people you live with if you completed that task! And remember, some moments are holy. Some moments are unholy. And you decide!

Tips to Create This Holy Moment:
– If you notice a mess, patiently clean it up, even if it’s not yours!
– Ask your family if there’s anything they need help with.
– Invite your children to help you too…for extra Holy Moments!

Dine Out Night

The September next dine out night will be at Don & Millie’s on Wednesday, September 13th from 4 – 9 pm at 8150 O St, Lincoln, NE 68510. You must mention St. Patrick’s for 20% of the orders to come back to the school. This includes all drive-thru, pick-up and dine-in orders. See you all there!

Classroom Wishlist

Many teachers have updated their classroom wish lists! Purchasing an item from the wish list is a great way to say THANK YOU!

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.
