St. Anthony of Padua 

Catholic Church

The Parish is accepting 10-12 lbs. turkeys and turkey breasts for distribution to needy families in our area. Other holiday food items are needed as well, such as stuffing, cranberry sauce, canned green beans,  corn, and sweet potatoes. Canned pumpkin and evaporated milk would also be appreciated. Students from Capodanno High School will prepare and deliver food boxes in time for the holiday using the food collected.
Please do not leave frozen turkeys in the back of church. Instead we ask that you kindly bring them to the parish office between the hours of 9am-12pm and 1-4pm Monday through Friday.
Donations will be accepted in the office until Friday, November 20th at 4pm. On Sat., Nov. 21st and Sun., Nov. 22 Francis Klotz will accept turkeys and food items before or after Mass at the table outside the church.
 

There have been several attempts to scam St. Anthony parishioners through email messages with Fr. Kane’s name. Please check that any email stating that it is coming from Fr. Kane is sent from his @stanthonyparish.net account.
If the message is from a @Yahoo.com, @Gmail.com, @Hotmail.com, or other email address, it is a fake, and likely a scam. Please do not respond to these accounts. If you do respond, they will ask you to purchase gift cards possibly for someone suffering from cancer and then send them the codes. Usually they will request iTunes gift cards. Do NOT purchase gift cards as these scammers request. If you have purchased a gift card through this scam, please contact the police and make a report. Also, reach out to your credit card provider and ask them to stop payment.
As always, please remain vigilant to any digital communication stating Fr. Kane as the sender.  If you receive a text message by someone purporting to be Father Kane, please be reminded that he will never request favors or gift cards (iTunes card for example) via email or text message.
