Do you have a child starting college, school, even pre-school??

 Now is the time to start planning for those school days!  Missouri’s tax-free weekend runs the first Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of August each year which falls on August 7-9, 2026. It exempts the state portion of 4.225% sales tax. Have those gift cards already in hand or better yet use the RaiseRight app on your phone.

If it’s a college student, they need gas cards—Casey’s Conoco/Phillips 66, Cenex to Shell, Door Dash, food—McDonald’s, Chipotle, Domino’s, Panera Bread, Sonic, Starbucks to name a few, Staples, Walmart, Amazon, Target and Maurices for clothing needs, and VISA. All these gift cards listed are vendors we carry in our inventory. If we happened to be sold out, we can place an order for you when a bulk order is submitted.

If it’s a student for high school, junior high or pre-school, they will need clothing, school supplies and gas cards for the school year. Don’t forget to use RaiseRight gift cards for all those needs.

 Raise Right weekend sales will be at the 9 am Mass at St. Patrick and 8 am and 10 am at Sacred Heart on August 9. Bulk orders will be submitted on Tuesday, August 11.  All orders must be submitted on Monday, August 10. Our open hours are on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Parish Business Office until school resumes back in the fall. You can contact scrip@gogremlins.com with any questions or place an order.

Now is the time to put those rebates to work for our parish and school!
