What is Scrip?
North American
Martyrs purchases actual gift cards or certificates from
national and local retailers at a discounted price and
then resells them to the members of the parish for full
face value.Our parish profit is the difference,
which is between 1.5% and 25% of the face value of the
gift card/certificate.
The amount of our discount
(our profit) is on the order form envelope, next to the name
of the business. If you purchase a grocery gift
card for $100, and the percentage is 3%, our profit is
$3.
How/where to purchase Scrip
- Scrip orders are filled during every weekend
Mass. The Scrip table is by the door to the Family
Room. Simply fill out the envelope and drop off
(with payment included) before Mass begins, and pick
it up when you leave.
- If you have a child who attends our school, you
can send the order to school in the morning, and the
student will bring it home that day. It's helpful if
you can include the student's name and grade on the
envelope order form.
- You can call the school office (476-7373) to
order and come in to pick up.
Over $250,000 has been raised since 1994!
SCRIP has paid for the storage shed, parking lot paving,
the church pews, and one Extra Month loan payment of
$30,000.
Our current goal for Scrip is to not only make an
additional loan payment of $30,000, but to also
provide the funding towards the
salary for a youth minister for the young people in our
parish. All profits exceeding $2500
within each month is applied towards this goal.

letter to parishioners, regarding the youth minister
position (from the March 2008 Newsletter).
