Scrip Gift Cards Information

What is Scrip?

You hear an announcement most Sundays that "Scrip is available for purchase at the front desk." Unfortunately, most people are not taking advantage of that simple fund-raising opportunity for our parish. Using scrip gift cards is an easy way of doing much of your shopping. The scrip cards are like any gift cards you might purchase at various retailers. When you purchase a scrip card from SKD, you simply pay the face value of the card and use it to pay for your purchases.

The advantage to our parish is that we purchase the cards at a discounted rate, from 1.5% to 20%. So we make a little on each card sold. There are hundreds of  merchants on the Scrip program. We stock cards from  several of those merchants. We can order cards if we do not have the cards you need in inventory. A list of the cards we stock is on the parish website on the “Scrip” page found on the “About” tab.

You can also sign up for our eCard program. It is an app (RaiseRight - available for both Apple & Android devices) you can put on your phone to download eCards while you are shopping. You can open the app, pick the merchant you are shopping at and purchase an instant eCard in the amount you need to pay for your purchases. The app also includes the option to reload a plastic card you purchased earlier. Our Scrip provider now also offers the option to purchase plastic cards and have them shipped directly to you or as gifts to be shipped to someone else.

Stop by the front desk and learn more about our scrip program and how you can benefit the parish by utilizing Scrip to do your shopping.
