Special collection slated for S t Anthony School r ~ Reverend and dear Father: TAXES The purpose of my letter is to call your attention to the special collection for St. Anthony School for txp THey Exceptional Children which is to be taken at all Masses celebrated for Sunday Sept 8 RAISE TAXES?/ F° r,m“ y yCar#’ ° i course- *** people of the Pittsburgh Diocese have had great'affection for the excep­ tional children who have lived and learned at St. Anthony School. The faithful have always responded with generosity to meet the needs of these children who are so very special. While this collection is deserving of support every year, there is special urgency for our appeal this year as St. Anthony School approaches the threshold of an exciting and challenging time in its history. As you know, St. Anthony School recently announced plans to expand its services by establishing two new satellite programs this fall and five additional satellite centers in the foil of 1992 This expan­ sion into elementary and secondary schools will allow the increased inclusion of students with special needs Into regular school buildings and programs of the diocese. This endeavor Is in keeping with na­ THE. elderly, tional educational trends which meet the requirements of students with special needs by providing the AH>toW least restrictive environment possible. y v 8 INCOME- This expanded programming will be very beneficial to the students of St. Anthony School and their families. At the same time, it gives us renewed confidence in the future vitality and success of the school. The Church in Pittsburgh has a unique opportunity to renew our spiritual and financial com­ mitment to this outstanding program. I hope you will make a very special effort this year to bring this apP ^ to atte? t,on of V°ur Peopte and to motivate their generous and loving response.
