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.
