Parish Support

Please use EFT to pay for weekly and monthly collections, and participate in in-parish tuition.  Fill out the EFT Form and send it to the parish office.

Bottles and Cans

Send your bottles and cans with the Bottles and Cans form.  On the first Wednesday of each month, from 7:45 am to 8:30 am, a PTO representative collects and tallies by classroom all Massachusetts redeemable cans and bottles (e.g.,soda, seltzer, & beer) brought in by students and their families. Only include those cans/bottles that can be redeemed in Massachusetts for $.05. Please separate glass from cans and plastic bottles. Glass mixed in with cans and bottles is a safety issue for the employees at the redemption center. If Wednesday mornings are not convenient for you, please consider turning your cans & bottles in at the redemption site at the Fernald School located at 200 Trapelo Rd, Waltham. Let them know that you would like the proceeds donated to “Our Lady’s Academy.”

Scrip Gift Cards

We've started a new fundraising program at Our Lady's that will help us purchase new computer equipment and other items we need within the school. The program is called “Scrip,” which means "substitute money," better known as gift certificates from national and local retailers. These are the same gift certificates that you buy at the store. 

Scrip participating retailers agree to sell gift certificates to our organization at a discount. Member families like yours buy the certificates for full face value and they redeem them for full face value.
 
Here are the list of retailers in the Waltham area.  Below this is a comprehensive list of retailers, nationwide. If you shop at any of these stores, please use a Scrip card and our school will receive a donation.
