Scrip
North American Martyrs Parish offers a Scrip
program to raise funds in addition
to the sacrificial tithing of our parishioners.
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 30% 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.

can call the school office (476-7373) to order and
come in to pick up.
Order envelopes are available at the Scrip table, or
in the school office.
You may print an order form, fill it out, and place
it in an envelope marked "Scrip Order" or "Scrip Special
Order" (with payment included).
Special Orders received by 10:00 a.m. Monday
