THE GIFT OF GENEROSITY
We thank everyone who has supported Saint Anthony. If you need a convenient way to make regular offerings, St. Anthony encourages you to look
into our e- giving options. Online giving accounts
for any exchange of funds outside of paper money
(that means cash or check). This includes automated bank drafts, online bill pay, credit cards, debit
cards, etc. As the pace of life speeds up, you may
find electronic giving a most welcome way to make
contributions. Visit www.saint-anthony.com.
Sunday, 4/12/2015, at 3:00 (the hour of mercy),
St. Anthony’s will have our annual celebration to
commemorate Divine Mercy Sunday. Bring your
Rosary beads to recite the Divine Mercy Chaplet in
song.
The next safe environment training will be Tuesday,
April 21st at 7:00pm in Father Pondant Hall. This is
for anyone who needs to update your training or for
anyone who has been registered in the parish for 6
months and would like to participate around the parish. Please contact Terry Amaro for more information
at 972-442-2765

1,200 participants from 28 parishes. This year, St. Anthony will be joining youth from St. Pius, St.
Martin, St. Bernard and St. John for this amazing week of service. We will be working at sites
all over Dallas including a family homeless shelter, Catholic Charities sites and the North Texas
Food Bank. We need cleared adults to commit today in order for us to provide the youth of our
parish this life-changing opportunity to serve others. The number of youth who can participate in
Mission Possible is dependent upon how many adults volunteer. Each volunteer will be given a
crew of 4-6 youth depending on the number of seatbelts their personal vehicle accommodates. Please consider volunteering today! For more details, contact Kelly Colbert @ 972-4422765 or kelly@saint-anthony.com.
