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 HS, OUR PARTNER PARISHES, AND COMMUNITY NEWS
Xavier Impact Fund
Xavier Impact Fund – Coming to Your Parish This Weekend!
The Xavier Impact Fund will officially launch this weekend across our 11 partner parishes. 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 have over 100 students, parents, volunteers, teachers, and staff all pitching in to greet, hand out stickers, volunteer in lector/serving roles, and collect donations at Masses this weekend. Principals (and a few Lead Teachers) from our Xavier Catholic schools will be talking about the impact our teachers make on our children’s lives daily.
How to Help:
- Wear your Xavier Catholic Schools spirit wear to Masses Oct. 8-9 and 15-16!
- Volunteer – we are always looking for more happy volunteers to help in this effort.
- Donate – gifts of every size make a big difference. Drop a check off at the foundation, or go online at www.XavierSaints.org/Impact.
- Pray for the success of our outreach – for our teachers, students, volunteers, and families.
Call the Xavier Foundation Office - 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.
