religious sister from Alma speaker—topic details to come. St. Agnes will host on March 20—the other two nights will be at St. Joseph.


ShopWithScrip is now RaiseRight

Scrip (NOW RaiseRight) is gift cards from national and local retailers. They’re the same gift cards that you buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in the RaiseRight program including Meijer, Wal-Mart, VG’s, Tanger Outlet Mall, Subway, Panera, Starbucks, Speedway, etc. We have $25 Journeys cards and $25 iTunes cards available! There are hundreds of retailers available, check out this UPDATED LIST as of December, 2024.

Participating RaiseRight retailers sell gift certificates to the parish at a discount. You buy the gift cards for full face value through the parish; redeem them for full face value, and St. Agnes keeps the difference as revenue.

The parish has purchased some of the most popular gift cards to have on hand. Cards may be purchased by check, cash or credit card (3% fee will apply to credit cards). Order forms are also available for ordering cards we do not have in stock. Individuals may set up their account and link to us at raiseright.com and our enrollment code is 6EBC75C44193L.

AND, RaiseRight now has an app! Check out this VIDEO for more info!

So, whether you are purchasing groceries for the holidays, teachers gifts, gift cards or have a home improvement project lurking in the future please keep us in mind.  Every little bit helps!!
