Fulfillment of the Promise
Phase III: Part 2 & 3
Let's finish what we started!
A PRAYER FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF THE PROMISE
"Blessed be the God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who has bestowed
on us in Christ every spiritual blessing in the heavens ..." - Ephesians 1:3
In gracious gratitude for all the blessings of my life, dear Lord, help me in return to respond with generosity as my parish seeks to fulfill the promise we made some years ago. I thank you for past generations who have built up so vibrant a parish, I thank you for the present moment of opportunity and promise, and I ask you to help me move forward with humility into the future. You have blessed this parish, you bless this parish even now, and you will continue to bless us.
You said that it is in giving that we receive, and that where our treasure is, there is also our heart. Dear God, help St. Anthony Parish to build up not only buildings and programs, but a faithful People of God, a temple built of living stones, a reflection of your beauty. Help me to give of my time, talent and treasure cheerfully, in proportion to my means, from the gifts I have received.
"Every promise will be fulfilled, says the Lord, for I am God." - Joshua 21:45
Amen

Phase III: Part 2 - to be completed in 2021
St. Francis Hall Classroom Partitions
GOAL = $41,000
Our intentions of this project is to continue to have our Religious Education program grow along with our parish by creating a multifunctional area that can be used by everyone. We currently have approximately 150 students enrolled in our K-8th grade program with a shortage of classrooms. The new partitions will give us an additional 4 classrooms (2 will be 16'x28' and the other 2 will be 24'x25') at a reasonable cost. These can be used 2 at a time or 4 at a time, giving us flexibility with coinciding events on Sunday mornings. When needed, all 4 classrooms can be opened up and used as it currently is, full capacity for events.
In the fall of 2019, our Fundraising Committee received approval from the Diocese of Fort Wayne/South Bend to begin campaigning early 2020 with hopes to complete by the fall of 2020. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic putting us at unease to fundraise during that time, we weren't able to kick off the campaign in an appropriate manner. Fortunately, we were able to receive some generous donations prior, which gave us the opportunity to begin!
In the summer of 2020, our contractors installed steel beams in the ceiling of the hall. These beams will hold the weight of the partitions.
Beginning June 1, 2021, a track system will be attached to the steel beams for the partitions to slide on to create the 4 rooms or open it up to full capacity and stored away. A new air conditioner and air handler will also be installed to replace the 33 year old unit that cools the hall.

Our Fundraising Committee would like to ask for your support for the St. Francis Hall Classroom Project. With a goal in mind, we hope to achieve it by a high percentage of participation. This campaign will be a 1.5 months long (June 1-July 15, 2021). In addition to a one-time donation or a 3 month pledge, we are offering you to "Sponsor a Student" for $250 each. By sponsoring a student, our goal will be reached in no time and our prayers will be answered! All donations are tax deductible.
Once our Religious Education returns to IN-PERSON classes this fall, we want to welcome them back with new classrooms! Your generosity is important for us to finish what we started!
