Dear Parishioner,

As you probably know, all Masses and activities at St. Anthony’s have been cancelled and our parish offices are closed. But our prayers should not be suspended! Now, more than ever, we need to pray for God’s mercy and protection on us and the whole world.Unfortunately, although this shutdown means no collections and therefore very limited parish income, there still are bills that must be paid -- for utilities and salaries for the good people who work here at the parish, for example. And so, I am moved to ask you to consider sending your offertory gift to the parish directly, by check, by Bill Pay through your bank, or through Online Giving. (Information on how to set up Online Giving can be found on our website -https://www.stanthonyupland.org/donate.) 

Please know that I understand if you are not able to give at this time, but I sincerely thank you for giving, if you are able. Please stay safe, and may God bless and keep you through this difficult time. You are in my prayers every day.

In God’s love,

Fr. Gerry
