St. Anthony of Padua has a proud tradition of active participation by its parishioners.  In order to preserve our parish heritage and to ensure our future, we are looking toward alternative funding sources beyond the offertory collection, the fund raising events, and the tuition.
 
 The establishment of a Parish Endowment Fund is a very popular option.  The Fund is a vehicle for receiving gifts.  These gifts, in a very real sense, never diminish because the principal money they represent remains "untouched" in the Endowment Fund throughout time.  It is the interest, generated by the gifts, that becomes an alternate source of revenue for the parish.
 
 This alternate income allows St. Anthony of Padua to continue and to enhance its level of services to our members.  The Endowment would provide necessary capital improvements, assist the educational needs of students, insure a living wage for our teachers, and continue to serve the spiritual needs of our parish.
 
 If you feel called to make a gift to the parish or would like more information about the Parish Endowment Fund, contact the rectory and speak with Fr. Andrew at (440) 842-2666.
 
 All gifts will be gratefully acknowledged.  God bless your generosity.
