Thank You

08-21-2020Weekly Flocknote MessageFr. James Aboyi, V.C.

I thank everyone who attended the Memorial Mass for Fr. Bob last night, both in person and virtually. My special thanks to the Liturgy Ministers and Staff for the Liturgy planning. Fr Bob’s family also asked me to extend their appreciation to you for the Mass and for your prayers. I am glad the family in Uganda was able to participate virtually at the Mass last night. After Mass, the attending parishioners were invited to live-stream greetings to Fr Bob’s family on camera. They were particularly happy that they were able to put a face to the names in the parish community.

Support Our SJB Scrip Program

Do you give gift cards to your children, friends or use them yourself? Using a gift card is a very safe way to protect your debit and credit cards from scams. Our St. John Bosco School Scrip Program provides you with the opportunity and the convenience of purchasing gift cards through the Scrip Office. Every card you purchase comes with a discount that benefits our school community. I encourage you to consider buying your gift cards through the Scrip Office. You will find gift cards available from over 100 businesses from restaurants to online shopping. There are TWO easy ways to order:

  1. You can purchase physical cards from the school office. To purchase physical cards, place your order by clicking THIS LINK, choose the cards you wish to purchase, and enter your credit card information. Online orders are filled Monday and Wednesday mornings, and can be picked up at the front office Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM, and Friday 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM. As always, gift cards are subject to availability; however, if we are out of a specific card in your order, the Scrip Office will reach out to you directly.
  2. You may also purchase electronic scrip through www.shopwithscrip.com. Note: When using this method, please do NOT order physical cards; enter SJB enrollment code C65D27248227.

Until we are able to reopen window hours, both of these options are super convenient ways to purchase your Scrip while continuing to support St. John Bosco.
