SCRIP
Don’t forget to keep buying scrip this summer! 
SUMMER HOURS: Scrip is sold before and after Masses on Saturday night and Sunday mornings in the Tower and in the Rectory from 7 - 8 p.m. on Thursdays. 

Saint Laurence Scrip will be piloting a program this year
(2010-2011) to include Catholic colleges and universities in the type of schools covered by the tuition vouchers earned by parents, grandparents and friends when they purchase gift cards.  Currently, vouchers received for purchasing scrip can be used for tuition at St. Laurence School, for St. Laurence CYO or CCD fees, and at other Catholic elementary or secondary schools.
In order to obtain credit, please note the following guidelines.

For tuition at St. Laurence School, submit the
vouchers with your tuition payments. 
For Catholic schools other that St. Laurence, including colleges and universities, high schools, and other elementary schools, the process is a little different.  These checks are written twice a month and will be mailed directly to the schools.  Please provide the student’s name and identification number with the vouchers you submit, along with your name and phone number.  Vouchers should be submitted to Dawn Burdsall, St. Laurence Scrip Treasurer.  Send the vouchers to Dawn’s attention either to the rectory or to school.  Please note that it may take at least two weeks to process vouchers once they are submitted.  Please allow at least this amount of time when dropping off your vouchers.  NEW: Pilot program for using Scrip for Catholic colleges and universities will start summer 2010!

What is scrip and how does it help St. Laurence?
Scrip is substitute money.  When you purchase scrip you are purchasing negotiable gift certificates at nationwide and local retailers.  They generally look like the ever-popular gift card! All purchases produce a 3% tuition voucher for the buyer.  This can be applied to payments for St. Laurence tuition, St. Laurence CYO fees or St. Laurence CCD.  Additionally, vouchers can be applied to tuition at area diocesan high schools and other parochial schools. Stores available every week in the scrip box include:
Grocery: Acme, Drexel Line, Giant, Pathmark, Shoprite, Superfresh, Colonial Village
Restaurants: Applebee’s, Auntie Anne’s, Burger King, Dominos, Red Lobster/Olive Garden, Outback, Rita’s, Wendy’s, Starbucks.
Other:AMC, Barnes & Noble, Bath & Body Works, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Blockbuster, Gap/Old Navy, Kohl’s, Macy’s, TJ Maxx/Marshall’s, Payless, Penny’s, Staples.
Stop by the Scrip table TODAY! If you shop at these stores for everyday expenses like food, clothing, and entertainment, you, too, will be able to earn 3% percentage toward tuition.  If you cannot use the tuition yourself, just ask that the voucher go to a friend, neighbor or to the school itself.
How do I receive money for the vouchers I receive when I buy scrip?
For parents of students at St. Laurence, submit the vouchers with your tuition payments to St. Laurence in order to obtain credit. 
For parents of students at schools other than St. Laurence (including both Monsignor Bonner & Archbishop Prendergast), the process is a little different.  Checks for high schools and other parochial elementary schools are written twice a month and will be mailed directly to the schools.  Please provide the student’s name and identification number with the vouchers you submit along with your name and phone number.  Vouchers should be submitted to Dawn Burdsall either to the rectory or to school.  Please note that it may take at least two weeks to process vouchers once they are submitted.  Please allow at least this amount of time when dropping off your vouchers.  Please contact Dawn Burdsall via email at d.b2120@comcast.net or by phone,
