Parish Social Ministry

Dear Parishioners,

 

This week we will be giving out school supplies to our children from Kindergarten through High School.  Thanks to you we can do this.

 

In putting the supplies together we felt so blessed because every child should have a good start in school.  It is important that our children have the necessary tools to get a good education as other students do. 

 

The new Suffolk SCRIPTS (Suffolk County Initiative to Provide Taxpayer Savings) Program allows Suffolk County residents to save an average of 20 percent off the retail price of their personal medications. While SCRIPTS is not an insurance plan in itself, this prescription discount card can help bridge the financial gap for all Suffolk County residents even those with personal insurance plans.

Best of all, the Suffolk SCRIPTS card is free.

The Suffolk SCRIPTS program will at least be able to cushion that blow with a discount on the retail price of anywhere from five to 50 percent.

The Suffolk SCRIPTS card is accepted at over 300 pharmacies within the County, at more than 57,000 pharmacies nationwide, and is available through mail service. It carries no age or income restrictions, and no limits on how often it can be used. You and your family may freely use this card at any time, even when your prescription is not covered by your personal insurance plan. Simply present the discount card at a participating retail pharmacy and start saving on many of your prescription drugs. To find out

where to pick-up a card of your own, please call toll-free 1-877-321-2652.
