In order to financially support our HOPE Ministries, we make available for purchase various Gift Cards to parishioners and friends. Each time you purchase a Gift Card, we receive a commission from that retailer/merchant and there’s ABSOLUTELY NO ADDED COST TO YOU. This enables us to provide the much needed support to those in need. Commissions received from Gift Cards is one of our primary sources of income. Thanks to you, our Parish has contributed $195,268 in gift card commissions to various HOPE Ministries since 2005.
Gift Cards, which are valid for 7 years, are a convenient and practical gift for someone who has everything, especially seniors or homebound relatives, friends, or neighbors. They’re great for:
| *Christmas *Easter *Thanksgiving *Valentine’s Day *Mother’s Day *Father’s Day |
*Grandparent’s Day *Any Holiday *Weddings *Baptisms *Birthdays *Anniversaries |
*Graduations *Special Events *Thank You’s *Get Well *We Miss You *And For Your Everyday Grocery Shopping!!! |

Good News! The Gift Card Program is about to start up again with new protocols to keep everyone safe and allow us to continue fundraising to support our HOPE Ministries. Our HOPE Ministry gift card program has been active in our parish from 2006 thru the start of 2020, raising much needed funds for The Indian Orchard Survival Center, Bethlehem House, HOPE at Home for emergency needs of our parishioners, Heifer International and Haiti’s, Hospital Sacre Coeur.

This is the plan approved by Father John:
Hopefully, with your help and understanding, we will once again be able to raise funds from the sale of shopping cards, especially during the Christmas Holiday, when our sales are at their peak. Remember that ALL our profits go to the charitable work of our HOPE Ministries!
