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

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 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.

  • You can call the school office (402-476-7373) or the Parish Office (402-476-8088) to order and come in to pick it 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 will be received by Thursday of the same week.

 

Over $420,000 has been raised since 1994!

 

SCRIP has paid $170,000 for all of the church pews and furnishings, $100,000 towards the building fund, and $60,000 toward the Youth Ministry Program.  SCRIP also paid for the Permanent Church Sign, the new Monstrance, the shed, part of the church parking lot paving and other Parish Projects.  SCRIP has also contributed to several local charities.

 

Current goals for SCRIP Raise $45,000 to be divided between the Youth Ministry ($15,000), Cry Room Chairs ($4,000), Parish Retreats ($3,000), Parish Projects ($15,000), such as the room dividers and white tables. Various Charities ($8,000) including St. Gianni House and Religious Orders (School Sisters of Christ the King, Marian Sisters, and Benedictine Sisters) are also part of the goal.

 Scrip Visa:  In addition to the SCRIP cards and certificates that are sold at NAM with a profit of 2%-30%, you may also apply for a SCRIP VISA card.  This card earns 1% for NAM on any purchase made anywhere.  Larger percentages may be earned by shopping at online REWARD merchants.  There is no annual fee.  The one Cause VISA Platinum card application is only on-line at www.onecause.com/onecause_visa .  Be sure to designate NAM Lincoln, NE as your recipient of the profits, under school.
