Be like St. Anthony — help those struggling with poverty

Remember the last day of school, when you had the whole summer ahead of you? What a joyful childhood memory!

We still get that feeling of happy anticipation at the start of the season. And no matter what we do in the summer, we make St. Anthony a part of it. We hope you will, too!

Please send us your petitions for St. Anthony now, and we’ll include them in our St. Anthony Novenas of Masses — a favorite summer tradition at Franciscan Mission Associates — June 22 through June 30 and Aug 2 through August 19.

As St. Anthony intercedes for you, you can intercede for the people in our missions. For so many, summer is just another season when the struggles go on — for mothers to feed their families, for elderly people to get life-saving medicine, for children who have been orphaned to get an education, for young people in dangerous neighborhoods to find safety and support.

Without your help, our Franciscan missionaries can’t address these many needs, so we’re praying you’ll make a generous donation today.

We hope you have a wonderful summer, and we look forward to praying for you in our three St. Anthony Novenas of Masses. Thank you for your friendship and support. God bless you!

P.S. Whatever your summer plans are, be sure to include St. Anthony. Send us your intentions for our Novena today. And please also donate to aid people in our missions who are struggling. Thank you!
