Faith, Hope & Healing Program
-
April 11, 2021
I would like to thank all of you who gave thoughtful and prayerful consideration of our Faith, Hope and Healing program. The response was great. We had 276 responses from our 438 consistent donors, giving us a 63% response rate. These committed donors pledged to increase their annual giving by $43,789.71 over the next 12 months. Thank you so much!
Our one-time recovery gifts came from 70 households and totaled $22,596.27. These commitments will help the parish move into the future more securely than we would have been able to otherwise. I am truly blessed to be the Pastor of such a dedicated Parish.
Once again, thank you for your generosity and know that you are always in my prayers.“It ain’t over till it’s over” If you have been pondering a pledge and just haven’t responded yet, please don’t give up thinking this is the end. Should you decide to change your weekly or monthly commitment, please send in the card or send me a note.
Finally, I understand well that some members of our parish are not in a position to increase their giving right now. Please know that I appreciate you, your presence, participation and prayers. I pray for your financial security and peace of mind.
As always, let us pray for one another.
~ Fr. Joe

During the week of February 21, 2021 our parishioners received a newsletter introducing our Faith, Hope & Healing Program. Our community spent the last several months responding to the historical crisis in numerous ways. I’m proud to be to part of the
St. Anthony of Padua Parish community.
On Celebration Sunday, February 28, 2021 I will invite everyone to join together and participate in securing our parish’s future. I ask that you please review the newsletter
you receive and prayerfully consider how you and your family can help St. Anthony of Padua Parish by financially supporting our ministries, furthering our mission, and reinforcing our future.
We ask that all faithful parishioners complete a Commitment Card.
A card will be included in the newsletter mailing for you to:
• mail to the church using the pre-addressed envelope included in this mailing;
• or bring your card to Mass the following Sunday;
• or you may click here to complete an electronic Commitment Card.
The back of the Commitment Card has a place for you to include any prayer intentions
you wish to share. We welcome all intentions and they will be prayed over during the Prayer of the Faithful at Mass.
Our goal is 100% participation! Thank you for your generosity and dedication to
St. Anthony of Padua Parish!~ Fr. Joe
