Campaign Overview
The “Securing Our Future” fundraising campaign aims to raise $5.5 million dollars in order to support our St. Anthony Catholic Schools. We seek to build the Trust to ensure that the access to quality Catholic Education and Formation remains attainable for our parish families and beyond.
Donations to the Securing Our Future Campaign will go towards more scholarship opportunities for students and families.
What gratitude fills one's heart as we experience the great generosity of the parish family as they share time, talent, and treasure to assure the continuation of the faith life, academic excellence, and the enrichment and grace of each student's person physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
What Vision, Courage, and Generosity!
