**Important Scrip Program Update**
After many discussions, it has been decided to end the Scrip Program at all three parishes. Due to several years of decreasing profits and the unexpected closing of restaurants, the cost to run the program makes it no longer financially feasible to continue. We will operate as normal until October 31, allowing you to place Scrip orders for Scrip cards not in our on-hand inventory. Effective immediately, we will not restock our on-hand inventory. Beginning November 1, we will sell our on-hand inventories until depleted. All Scrip orders will continue to earn the Scrip credit as they have earned in the past.
For families using the Raiseright app and ordering online, you will be able to continue ordering as normal through October 31. The ability to pay online will be disabled on November 1. Access to your Raiseright wallet, which houses egifts purchased prior to October 31 will continue.
For those who regularly purchase gift cards for Christmas, please note that the last date to order gift cards outside of our on-hand inventory is October 31.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we thank you for your support over the years.

What is Scrip?Scrip is a term that means “substitute money.” The Scrip Program is a fundraiser for our parish that doesn't require any extra money and only a little bit of extra planning. Sts. Peter & Paul purchases gift (Scrip) cards from Great Lakes Scrip Center, as well as several local retailers at a discounted price. These cards are available for you to purchase at face value. The difference of the card value and the discounted price is profit for our parish. It’s really that simple!
When families use these gift cards at their favorite retailers, they are fundraising while they shop. Great Lakes Scrip Center offers a huge variety of retailers, including grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations and so much more. We also offer a number of local gift cards including: Holiday Foods, Carriage Inn, Murphy Chiropractic, and more! It’s easy to make scrip a part of any shopping routine. Using scrip regularly for weekly purchases, a single family can easily generate $500 or more annually toward their fundraising goal! It’s time to put your shopping dollars to work! Check out the Scrip Order form for a list of all the brands you can buy scrip for and start earning rebates for our parish today! |
How can Scrip benefit your family?The Scrip program not only benefits our Parish, but parents with children as well. The School Fee Reduction Program divides the profit from each card purchased equally, with 50% of the profit staying at Sts. Peter & Paul Parish, and they other 50% being credited towards the family to be used to offset registration, fees, and/or tuition. Our current scrip year is March 1, 2021 thru February 28, 2022. Credits earned during that time will be applied to the 2022-2023 school/religious ed year. See the list below.

Who can use Scrip?
Not only can parents of school-aged and preschool-aged children participate in the School Fee Reduction Program, but so can everyone else! Extended family members and friends are encouraged to purchase Scrip cards and designate a family to benefit from their purchases. Example: Granny Smith comes in to purchase Scrip cards in the Parish Office. She tells the office staff “My grandson, Johnny Jones goes to school here; I would like the Jones family to receive the credit."
