“I believe that today offers us an opportunity to act strongly to continue our growth and bless the future of St. Anthony. Our community and our world need the formation in faith which St. Anthony offers. At the same time, our families need the assurance from those who have already benefited from its work that they can meet the sacrifice which it takes to form their children into the young men and women which St. Anthony helps produce.
Please join me in helping continue our growth and allowing God to bless our future!”
