Imagine 30 different couples within the parish all buying SCRIP every 2 weeks...this would amount to $6825.00 buy the end of one year.
After 3 years of buying SCRIP for our every day needs, 10 families and 30 couples could generate $21,684!!! Just for buying stuff that you already have worked into your budget.
Participating in the scrip program is easy, just look for a SCRIP seller at the back of church before or after the 7:30pm mass at St. Rose or the 9:30 am mass at Holy Cross. Volunteers are there the 2nd and 4th Sundays of every Month.
If you need SCRIP sooner than every 2weeks or would like to purchase other vendor certificates, please stop by the Parish Center or school office during normal business hours.
