2009 ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL IS UNDERWAY !
|
| |
The Annual Catholic Appeal is actively underway in all parishes in the St Louis area. This is the No. 1 Catholic Fundraiser in the USA aimed at helping the unfortunate and needy. This year more than ever before, we need your help!
The St. Anthony campaign was focused on the three weekends of April 25-26, May 2-3 and May 9-10. During the drive we heard the beautiful 2009 campaign video and the testimony of a very special ACA Guest Speaker, our own Sister Joann. We again erected an ACA tent in front of church to distribute and collect ACA pledge cards.
The Archdiocese goal for 2009 is to collect $12.5 million in pledges and distribute it all to the needy in the St. Louis area.Our St Anthony goal in 2009 is to best the amount given last year, $22,555, while achieving 17 new donors. Our parish has been directly blessed by the generosity of the ACA for many consecutive years. This coming school year we will receive $50,000 from the ACA to support our school over 10 months beginning Sept. 1, 2009. In addition we will receive $30,000 to directly pay down the school loan and hopefully another $25,000 in tuition support for our teachers. Last year we gave $22,555 to the ACA so we are poised to receive back almost 5 times what we give. This has been going on for years.
We as a parish need to show the ACA we are thankful for their generosity. We ask that every family in the parish give something to the drive. Just give what you can. Last year our parish was tied for 6th place in giving participation with 84%. This was a tremendous accomplishment and most likey the reason we are again receiving a sizeable ACA gift this year. Please help us maintain our high participation percentage. Please be an integral part of our parish and join in the giving!
The ACA website containes many excellent minivideos and other data on the campaign. If you would like to visit the website go to :
www.archstl.org/stewardship and click on the Annual Catholic Appeal..then find and enjoy the videos.
Go in Peace to Love and Serve the Lord |

Wow, 60 years of graduates! Just think of the possibilities for such a group.
The timing couldn't be better. The new school is a beautiful demonstration of what can be accomplished when people unite for a common cause.
The Alumni Association will be an excellent opportunity for all graduates to reunite and determine how they would like to make a lasting impact on the lives of many future students of St. Anthony School in Sullivan, Missouri. By getting involved at the ground level,you will have the opportunity to set the direction for the Association. It is a unique time in St. Anthony School history. So, join in the fun.
In order to distribute information regarding the formation of the Alumni Association, we need addresses - AND LOTS OF THEM. Please submit your name and address to us, if you are a Graduate. Also, notify anyone you know who may be interested in more information about the Alumni Association.
