Parish Manna Program

The parish Manna program is like a small business. About 10 dedicated parishioners operate it. After the 9 and 11 a.m. Sunday Masses and from 2:30-4:30 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays, the teams sell gift cards for local and out-of-town restaurants and retailers at the main doors of St. Joseph School. You've probably seen them sitting there at the Manna table.

Each of the Participating Businesses offers gift cards at a discount. The Manna group then sells the cards at face value.

Half of the discounted percentage goes to a ministry designated by the buyer and the remainder goes to a general parish fund. 

Do we not have what you are looking for? We still might!! Click here to see more available vendors. If you see something you want, just tell the Manna volunteers the next time you come ... They will be happy to special order it for you.

*Special Order  (For special orders, please let us know by Sunday and we will have them for you the following Wednesday)

Note to school families: Did you know that you can complete a Manna Order Sheet and send it to school with your child, along with your check, and we will fill your order and send it home with your child? New school families: Did you know that when you purchase Manna Gift Cards half of the discount will go toward your tuition? It may not look like a lot, however, if you get in the habit of purchasing Manna for groceries, gas, restaurants  and clothing, it can really add up to quite a bit over the school year, especially if you  recruit your family members, friends and neighbors to help you. Pick up a blank order form at the main church doors or download one here.

Those who take time to purchase the gift cards, especially the regulars, are giving back to their parish community. It doesn’t cost a thing. It’s an easy way to help. Many just pick up cards as they need them … like for going out for dinner over the weekend. Others think long term and integrate the program into their regular budgets. They purchase cards to buy groceries, to fill their gas tanks and for other necessities.

Some people do all their grocery shopping with Manna gift cards. In fact, Kroger allows customers to add money back onto cards at the store and the discounted percentages automatically go back to the parish.

We thank all of those involved as well as those who take advantage of this special service. Please stop by, visit with the volunteers and grab some gift cards. They make great presents too!!
