St. Anthony  Catholic Church

      EMERGENCY APPEAL FROM ST. ANTHONY’S
As you know, the Coronavirus Pandemic - like all other natural and man-made disasters - hits the needy and the marginalized among us most of all.  I am told by the coordinators of our Spanish-Language Missionary Program (The Word of God Missionary Movement) that many of their members are suffering acutely from the economic fallout which the pandemic has occasioned.  Many have lost employment and are struggling to keep food on the table, along with other needed everyday supplies.  A small number of members have been stricken with the virus itself.  

I have been in dialogue with their leadership in order to find out what some of their particular needs might be so that the parish community of St. Anthony Church might reach out to our brothers and sisters in charitable fellowship, and they have provided me with a simple list of needed items.  If you can contribute to this supply-drive, please leave donated items in the vestibule of the church from Monday-Friday between the hours of 8 am - 12 noon.  If you leave perishable food items, please notify the Rectory by phone so that we can immediately retrieve and refrigerate them.  

On behalf of the Word of God Missionary Movement, I thank you most sincerely and ask God’s blessings on your generosity!

Gratefully in Christ,
Father Mastrolia
