Countdown to Wish Upon a Star 2022

Grand Raffle Tickets- due this Wednesday!

Dear Parents:

We hope you plan on joining us this Saturday, May 21st for our BIGGEST school fundraiser, Wish Upon a Star! The annual Grand Raffle is an exciting part of WISH, and one of our most important (and easiest!) fundraisers. Your child should have already brought home two booklets of Grand Raffle tickets. We strongly encourage you to sell tickets to your family, friends, neighbors and coworkers and don’t forget to purchase a few for yourself.

Each ticket will be entered for a chance to win one of three Visa gift cards: Grand Prize $1,500, 2nd Prize $1,000 and 3rd Prize $500. We are striving for 100% participation from our school families and encourage you to sell both ticket booklets. Please return all ticket stubs to school by Wednesday, May 18th.

Ticket holders need not be present to win! You can purchase tickets by credit card through our Blackbaud (new SMART) purchase tickets or write a check to “SRLA HSA”. Each ticket is $10, and you must send in your stubs with the name and contact information of the purchaser to be entered into the raffle. Stubs and checks should be returned to the school office in the envelope provided or marked “Attention: Grand Raffle.”

The winning ticket will be drawn at Wish Upon a Star this Saturday, May 21st. If the winner is not present, they will be contacted to pick up their prize at a later date. Questions? Please feel free to contact us at the below email addresses. 

Good luck in the Grand Raffle!

Most sincerely,

SRLA Grand Raffle Chairs

Contact Senators Before Extreme Vote on Abortion Bill

Contact Senators before Today's Vote!

In response to the leak of a draft opinion in the Supreme Court case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Senate has scheduled another vote to impose nationwide abortion on demand through the so-called Women’s Health Protection Act, S. 4132.

Your senators need to hear from you NOW.

Among other extreme actions, this most radical abortion bill ever seen would:

• Impose abortion on demand nationwide throughout every stage of pregnancy  

• Eliminate existing pro-life laws nationally AND in every state and local government 

• Force Americans to financially support abortions in the U.S. & abroad 

• Likely force health care providers to participate in abortions against their beliefs 

• Likely force employers and insurers to cover or pay for abortion 

Please contact your Senators today to let them know this horrible bill must never become law.

Take Action

WISH - FAQ'S

Grand Raffle Volunteers Needed!

The Annual Grand Raffle is one of SRLA's biggest fundraisers and we need your help! We are looking for volunteers to sell Grand Raffle tickets at St. Rose of Lima Masses during the two weekends leading up to Wish Upon a Star, May 21, 2022, which is when we will draw the winners. We are also looking for SRLA student readers to speak at the end of each Mass to help promote ticket sales. 

Here's what we need:

First, we need volunteers at our Masses THIS upcoming weekend. This is an easy 20-25 minute job - we are asking for 1-2 parent/family volunteers at each Mass to sell our Grand Raffle tickets outside of church. Masses are: Saturday 5/7: 5:30pm and Sunday 5/8: 9:30am and 11:30am.  

We also need 2 students to speak at each Mass on the weekends of May 7-8 and May 14-15. Don't worry, a script will be provided and it's a great chance to practice public speaking among your own community! Student speakers are asked to wear their school uniforms to church.
