As you can see from the monthly stewardship totals, we have been blessed to witness firsthand the love and devotion that many of you have for St. Anthony of Padua Parish.  It is our hope that the Church has been a source of inspiration and comfort for you and your family.  In recent months, you have had the opportunity to hear the “State of the Parish” during talks from our Finance and Pastoral Council members and the need for our parish to offer this opportunity for the Increased Offertory Program. It is with deep gratitude to those who have already given so generously. Our financial generosity is a reflection of the gratitude we have for the blessings God has bestowed upon us. Please prayerfully reflect upon your current giving and consider increasing your contribution.  When we give generously, we are participating in God’s work in the world. Our giving enables us to support the vital ministries of our Church, care for those who are in need, and be a witness to the love and grace of our Lord. It is also a form of worship, a way to express our gratitude for all that God has done for us. May your generosity be an example of the love and compassion that we are called to show to others. Together, we can continue to build up St. Anthony of Padua Parish, our community and beyond.
