The 2025 Annual Parish and Schools Raffle!

Dear Shrine Parishioners, 

We are pleased to announce our 2025 Annual Raffle! This is a Church and Schools fundraiser and is our biggest fundraiser for this year.  Our goal is $200,000 of which the net proceeds will be distributed among the four groups: the Church, the Grade School, the Academy and High School, and Religious Formation. Each of these groups will determine how best to use their share of the net proceeds from the raffle, being good and prudent stewards with the funds entrusted to them.  

The schools held their kickoff raffle assemblies on Friday, November 15th. The Parish kick-off will begin on Monday, November 25^th.  Your Parish Fundraising Obligation - Each Parishioner is expected to buy and/or sell a minimum of 12 tickets at $10 each. If you meet your fundraising obligation, please ask for additional tickets to sell. The money raised from this raffle will benefit both the Parish and the Schools!
