A FEW NOTES ABOUT OUR GIFT CARD PROGRAM:

Purchase gift cards from the parish at face value and redeem the cards at the vendor for the full value of the card. Resurrection Parish receives rebates from each vendor which are earnings for the Parish - PAID BY THE VENDOR, NOT YOU OR ME.

Currently, the Parish receives approximately $40,000 from 300 families purchasing gift cards. With increased participation, ANNUAL EARNINGS to the Parish could conservatively be $250,000, and optimistically be $1 million. PAID BY THE VENDOR, NOT YOU OR ME.

How do I purchase gift cards?
1. Online through Raise Right, 24/7/365. Register at www.raiseright.com with an assigned enrollment code (Please contact Parish or School office for this). There are 750 vendors and many are e-cards. Pay with a registered checking account at a fee of ONLY $0.29 per transaction, or credit card with a fee of 2.6% per transaction.
2. Purchase physical gift cards in-person, 7 days/week. We have 20 local vendors at both parish offices during business hours and before/after weekend Masses. Pay by check or cash with NO fee, or credit card with a fee of 3.6%.

WHAT A GREAT WAY TO HELP THE PARISH AT NO OR MINIMAL COST TO YOU!

Thank you to parishioner Bill Trozzo for overseeing the Gift Card Program and for speaking at Mass this weekend!

GIFT CARD SELLERS NEEDED! We would like to start selling gift cards before and after the weekend masses at St. John Capistran Church. In order to do so, we need volunteers. It takes approximately 15 minutes of your time before and after mass and it’s a great way to meet fellow parishioners. A brief 15-20 minute training will be provided in advance of selling.  Selling gift cards at the weekend masses makes it more convenient for our parishioners to buy gift cards that will help reduce the projected budget shortfall of $245,000 for this fiscal year. If interested in becoming a member of this very important Parish Ministry, please contact either Parish Office or contact Bill Trozzo at (412) 874-6071. Thank you for your consideration in joining this Ministry and in helping to reduce our projected budget shortfall.
