Dear Parishioners,

 

As many around the world struggle with the Coronavirus, St. Anthony of Padua has not been immune to the effects caused by these recent events.  Archbishop Etienne to suspend all Masses was an important step in helping slow the spread of the virus.  This decision was not taken lightly.  It was made out of concern for the common good and care of the vulnerable in our community.  This important step will seriously impact in our weekly collection.  Like most parishes, 90% of our revenue comes from the generous support of our faith community.  This generosity supports the basic operations (payroll, utilities, maintenance, etc.)  and ministries of our church.

 

This is a good time to remind you that we have several options available for giving electronically in a safe and secure way such as VANCO payment solutions.  Online giving can be customized by you.  The frequency of how you want to give (weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.) and the type of gift (debit, credit, EFT, etc.) is up to you.  Please visit our website at www.stanthony-carnation.org or click on the VANCO button below for instructions on how to quickly set up an Online giving account or call the parish office.  If you do not wish to give online, please remember to mail in your weekly stewardship gift.  We thank you for your continued support of our parish.
