BETHLEHEM WOOD CARVING
We extend a warm welcome on the weekend of May 23 & 24 for the mission of olive wood sale religious items from the Holy Land to help and support the Catholic Christians to maintain their livelihood and remain in their homes. There are a lot of reasons to support this mission through the visit. Your help ensures that the churches and holy sites remain places of Christian worship. Without the indigenous Catholic presence in the Holy Land, these places would turn into museums.
They are our brothers and sisters in Christ. They are suffering and living conditions in the Holy Land are dire as a result of the border closures that restrict freedom of movement. May we ask you again to support Louie and his mission? Louie will share more information after each Mass. ALSO, you may reach Louie by his website. www.stmichaelolivewood.com.

We would like to ask you to consider a donation to be used at the St. Anthony School Annual Golf Outing that is being held on Friday, May 22nd at Devou Park Golf Course. As our primary fundraiser to support the boys’ and girls’ athletic teams, school PE equipment, and our outdoor recess areas at St. Anthony, we strive to provide an enjoyable day of golf, food and friendship!
We have two simple and easy ways for you to participate:
1. Gift Card donations to be used for prizes and raffles
2. $100.00 hole sponsorships with tee box signage
As with many local schools, we rely on the generosity of our local business owners to help support our event in exchange for promotion and advertisement to our 130+ golfers and all our school families. For our golfing friends, you can also sponsor a foursome for the event for $480.00 and treat your employees or customers to a day of golf (plus previously mentioned corporate acknowledgements). As a non-profit, all your donations or sponsorships are tax deductible.
