The Gift Card/SCRIP Program is a great way to raise funds for the PTO or Debt Reduction - at no cost to you. When you purchase gift cards, St. Susanna receives anywhere from 2% - 20% of the total purchase and you can select whether it helps either pay down the Parish Debt or support the PTO.
Our Program consists of 2 parts:
1. Weekly Program: The following cards can be bought immediately after mass each weekend at the information desk from volunteers (list list on the right side of this page).
2. Scrip Program: You can pick up an order sheet at the information desk after church or download here. A few of the several hundred cards we can order from are listed on this sheet. Of course, you can always go to the Great Lake Scrip website (www.glscrip.com) and write additional ones on the order form. Please make all checks payable to "St Susanna Parish." Orders placed by the 15th of the month will be received by the 22nd.
Do we really make a difference? Absolutely! The table below shows our results over the last three fiscal years.

All of this is accomplished with only about 3.5% of our parish families participating! Imagine how much we could raise if we had even 10-15% participation? So why not give it a try today, it’s a small change in habit that doesn’t cost you anything except a little time!
