T.R.I.P. is gift certificates from national and local retailers. They're the same gift certificates that you buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in our program. These retailers agree to sell gift certificates to our school at a discount. Member families buy the certificates for full face value, they redeem them for full face value, and our school keeps the difference as revenue with 1/2 of the revenue going back to you as tuition credit. It is exciting because everybody wins:








Certificates are available for purchase in the school office Monday through Friday from 7:30 A.M. until 3:30 P.M. It will also be available on Sundays in Room 100 from 10:00 A.M. until 10:30 A.M. T.R.I.P. will also be available in the evening during the monthly Market Day pick-up.

Orders can also be sent with school children to the office and will be returned the next day.  We will not accept orders on Fridays since we cannot fulfill the order by the next day.

It is important that you fill out the envelope completely with the Family Account Number (your parish envelope number) to ensure proper credit to your tuition which will be given in December and April of the current school year.

You may also purchase certificates to aid another family, the school or the Religious Education Program just by providing that information on your envelope.  Rebate percentages and dominations are subject to change without notice and in most cases are effective immediately.

*** T.R.I.P. can now also be used to reduce your child's tuition at any Catholic high school.  The sign-up and procedures are the same for high school as for St. Pascal School and Religious Education Program.

Should you have any questions, please contact the school office.
