Scrip
If you're on the fence about participating in the LaSalle scrip program, think about how you can use scrip to just pay for the things that you're always going to buy, like gas! Right now Kwik Star has a bonus 9% rebate, which continues through the end of this month. All you need is a physical card to get started. We have $25 and $50 cards in our St. Ludmila inventory and we can get one to you quickly! Once the card is registered in your RaiseRight account, you can quickly add funds to your card at any time.
For more information, email lcscrip@earthlink.net or call Paula (319) 329-6829.

Xavier Impact Fund
Xavier Impact Fund Parish Outreach – Next Weekend!
We are excited to announce that this year the Xavier Impact Fund is focusing on the teachers of our PK-12 Xavier Catholic School teachers. These dedicated educators make, on average, considerably less than their public school counterparts. In collaboration with our priests, parishes, and school administrations, we are working to raise $1 million dollars so we can offer a more competitive and equitable salary to our beloved Xavier Catholic School teachers.
We remain committed to our partner parishes so we are happy to announce that every dollar raised above your goal will again go directly back to your parish to be used for your parish’s greatest need! To date, eight of our parishes have received check back collectively totaling $58,426.
We will kick-off at all parishes Masses next weekend, October 8-9 and October 15-16. If you are attending Mass, get your whole family to wear your Xavier or favorite Catholic school gear. You can also volunteer in any capacity to help the parish on these appeal weekends.
Your commitment card that you received in the mail can be dropped off after Mass with our Xavier student volunteer outside the main doors or mailed to the Xavier Foundation at your convenience. Online donations are also encouraged: www.XavierSaints.org/Impact. Call 319-378-4571 or email development@xavierfoundation.org with any questions.
Thank you for your prayers and support in this community effort as we show our teachers our love and support.
