On the weekend Masses of January 18/19, a special collection will take place to benefit the students of St. Anthony School Programs and DePaul School for Hearing and Speech. The children of St. Anthony School Programs and DePaul School for Hearing and Speech have flourished and grown thanks to the generous gifts parishioners throughout the Diocese of Pittsburgh have provided. St. Anthony School Programs offers an inclusive education to children ages 5 to 21 with Down syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and other special needs. DePaul School for Hearing and Speech teaches children who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have severe speech delays to listen, speak, and learn. Together, St. Anthony’s and DePaul School empower students to become active and contributing members of their respective communities. Through this special collection, we can support our students' spiritual and academic growth, and give back the joy they share with us, each day.
