Brothers and Sisters,

Msgr. Chiodo and I received good news from the Bishop recently – the Traditional Latin Mass is here to stay! Some of you may know that last summer, Pope Francis put in new restrictions in celebrating the Traditional Latin Mass. Bishop Joensen has heard of our community with over 200 people who regularly attend the Latin Mass and their desire to be in communion with the Parish, the Diocese, and the Church Universal. Bishop Joensen has also announced that he intends to visit the Latin Mass in Advent. I hope that everyone in the parish also takes time to attend the Latin Mass and discover part of our own history and see and experience this beautiful form of praying the Mass and discover why it draws so many people and continues to draw more.

Finally, I’d like to give an update from the school. We’ve had a donor offer up to $25,000 in matching donations for the school. I believe we can raise this money to support our school and our teachers. We have until the end of the calendar year to raise money towards this match, so let’s do it!

Thank you to all of you who have shown me such support during these months and know of my prayers for you all. Msgr. Chiodo also sends his greetings.

In Christ,
Fr. Dolan

Matching Donations! Double your dollars…

Your $25 turn into $50 for a limited time. Matched donations up to $25,000

There are times when a major donor will match donations for a good cause, which is what has just happend for St. Anthony School. A donor has agreed to match donations given to the school up to $25,000 until December 31, 2021. Meaning, if there is a $10 gift to the school, it would be matched to make $20. Simply put, every dollar given will be doubled. Your $1dollar becomes $2, and if you give $25, it becomes $50.

The donor will match up to $25,000 in donations, so if 250 people gave $100, which equals $25,000, the donor would double it to give the school a total of $50,000. Wow!

We are very thankful to the benevolent donor. The deadline to double your dollars is December 31, 2021. Now is a great time to give to the school. There are so many needs the school has, and $50,000 could meet those needs.

When you participate in this matching donation opportunity for the school, please signify in the memo on your check or on an envelope: “Matching Donation” so that your donation is matched.

We hope you will participate in this amazing chance to
double your dollars. Goal: $50,000 ($25,000 raised and $25,000 matched)
