The Grand Raffle is back and it's better than ever!

Again, St. Joseph is sponsoring the Grand Raffle to benefit St. Joseph School. Your one-time entry offers you up to 30 chances to win over a 3-month period. That’s less than the price of a gallon of gas per chance!

Proceeds go to the Second Century Fund to help with the school’s increased cost of operations, multi-student discounts, tuition assistance, technology enhancements, and growth for the future. Your support has been very important in the past and we thank you for your contributions.

In November, December and January, we’ll have 10 Grand Prize winners of $1,000 each!

That’s 30 $1,000 winners! Monthly drawings will be held in the St. Joseph Church Narthex following 5 pm Mass on November 20, 2011 and December 18, 2011, and at St. Joseph Trivia Night on January 21, 2012. You don’t need to be present to win. If you sell a winning ticket, you'll be entered into a $1,000 drawing that month.

Each ticket is a $50 donation, or get THREE tickets for $100.

All entrants will be added back to the Raffle for subsequent drawings.
