JPII TRIP CARDS – (Tuition Reduction Incentive Program)
The TRIP program revolves around using gift cards to do your shopping at participating businesses in the community and nationwide.
Basically, when you purchase TRIP gift cards from JPII Catholic Schools to take care of everyday needs, like groceries and gas, the church and the school get to keep between 2.5% and 10% of your gift card purchases, depending on the business’ contribution.
How about an easy example: You will need to buy groceries this week, and your favorite grocery store participates in the TRIP program with a 5% donation. The JPII Catholic Schools has purchased the $100 gift cards at the discounted rate of $95.You purchase the grocery card through the TRIP program (your $100 equals a full $100), and off to the to the grocery store you go. Nativity Parish and the JPII Catholic Schools get to keep $5.00 from the discount/contribution.
The list of participating businesses stretches coast to coast and includes gas, grocery stores, clothing and home good stores and restaurants.
TRIP is available after the 5:00, 9:15 and 10:45 masses. TRIP is also available on Monday and Friday mornings at all JPII Catholic Schools from 7:30 am to 8:30 am.
