What is Scrip? Scrip is a fundraiser where retail gift cards are
purchased at discounted rate and resold at face value. The money
earned is used by Nativity PTA for our school. Families don’t
have to sell anything and money is raised by normal household
purchases you would make anyway. Orders can be placed
whenever you want without dropping off an order form. If
families sign up for Presto Pay they can pay online as well.
Families on ShopWithScrip.com (Nativity’s enrollment code is
B8A7E4A4663L) also have access to ScripNow eCards that you
can print from home in minutes. Last school year the Scrip
Program raised $10,000 for Nativity! If you have any questions,
please contact our Scrip Coordinator, Kelly Leanza at
Kelly.buschur@gmail.com.
Please extend a warm welcome to our new parishioner:
Greg Laux. Welcome to Nativity Greg!
Infertility Conference Focuses on Solutions within Catholic
Teaching: Couples trying to conceive can learn more about
infertility solutions consistent with Catholic moral teaching at an
upcoming event, “A Catholic Approach to Infertility.” The
conference will be held on Saturday, June 8th, from 8:30 am to
noon at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish on Beechmont Avenue.
The conference will highlight the infertility treatment approach
developed by Thomas Hilgers, M.D., which includes the
reproductive science of NaProTECHNOLOGY and the tracking
method of the CREIGHTON MODEL FertilityCare System.
Who should attend this conference: couples struggling with
infertility; friends and family of couples trying to achieve a
natural pregnancy; Catholics who want to learn more about
infertility solutions; Clergy and anyone who might be asked
questions regarding this issue; and other interested in this topic.
This event is sponsored by Mercy Health Partners, the Family and
