Friends,

Good to be back in the saddle after a mini sabbatical. Word of thanks to Fr. Dolan for carrying the load while I was gone and the entire staff for all their faithful work. Heartfelt thanks to all of you who send numerous cards and wishes to me during my absence. I specially appreciate your prayers. God bless you for your kindness, you are a great people!

Thanks to those who attended the Rosary Rally last Saturday. Under the beauty of the blue skies we asked Our Blessed Lady to pray for our country and its needs.

Remember the All-Souls Novena. Envelopes are available at the front of the church. Please see in the left column the Mass schedule for All Saints and All Souls Day.

Be Blessed,
Monsignor Chiodo

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)
