Thank you! “Catholic Schools: Learn, Serve, Lead, Succeed” Catholic Schools Week is January 27 - February 2, 2019. We celebrate what makes Catholic education special by paying tribute to those who advance the mission of our schools and acknowledge the generous donors who provide sustaining support. All Diocese of Superior parishes participate, giving parishioners an opportunity to take part and share in support of Catholic Schools. Last years collection raised $67,253 which is additional and immediate assistance that our 14 Catholic schools count on. This special collection will be on January 27. Electronic Funds Transfer for Weekly Offering: St. Anthony’s offers safe and secure electronic funds transfers for weekly or monthly offerings. Authorization forms can be picked up at the office, mailed or emailed to you. If you have any questions, please call the parish office at 715-762-4494. Calendars are available at the entrances. Contribution Envelopes: Please pick up your envelopes. Special Collections: Overall, Catholics are known for sharing their blessings. The special collections in the Diocese of Superior parishes are as important as they were two centuries ago in the new, struggling communities of faithful. Special Collections, like Catholic Schools Week, are important for two reasons: 1) Monetary Need: They help fund a need that has been identified as worthy and true to the Church’s mission; and 2) Spiritual Need: They offer opportunities for us, as Christians, to support the Church’s mission on earth. Developing an attitude of stewardship not only for our own parish, but also for the faith community around us.

Catholic Services AppealThank you to those who have given to the Catholic Services Appeal so far! For those who have not given yet, please consider doing so. No gift is too small, and our parish is trying to reach 100% participation. This program helps alleviate some of the issues that face the diocese today, such as the shortage of priests. The responsibility our parishes have to help provide diocesan services and ministries such as support for vocations and the education of seminarians is an answer to that challenge. Please see page 4 under “Sharing Our Treasures” to view our cluster parishes goals and what we have raised so far.
Online Giving to the CSA provides donors with a secure and easy way to make a gift to the Catholic Services Appeal. Your parish is automatically credited with your gift.
