Enables parishioners to contribute to church debt and building funds even when there is no extra money in the household budget to do so.

What is Caring Gifts?

Caring Gifts is a gift card fundraiser that returns a portion of the gift card value to St. Anthony of Padua Church.  Gift cards purchased through Caring Gifts are for the full gift card value and can be used just like cash.  You can purchase gift cards from over 575 participating brands for everyday expenses like groceries, gas, clothing, restaurants and other essentials.  With every purchase, you are helping St. Anthony of Padua to pay down debt and build for our future.

Caring Gifts does not replace any of the wonderful fundraisers that are already in place at St. Anthony’s!  It is just another option of fundraising for parishioners to consider for making their everyday purchases.
