RaiseRight Gift Card Program

It's pretty simple...instead of purchasing gift cards from a retailer, you purchase them from the Parish.

You use them the same way you always use a gift card.

The gift card retailer provides a rebate donation back to the parish.

The parish buys gift cards from RaiseRight at a discount provided by the gift card's retailer (i.e. Gap, Home Depot, etc.) and then sells them to parishioners at their face value.

For example, the parish may purchase a $100 Gap gift card with a 14% rebate for $86.  You purchase the gift card for $100 and use its full $100 value.  The $14 rebate comes back to the parish!

There are a few ways to purchase RaiseRight gift cards...

At Church from our current inventory

The easiest way is to purchase gift cards from our available inventory at the RaiseRight table in the Narthex after the 4:30 Saturday and 8:30 Sunday Masses.

You can pay for your gift cards using cash or check.
