Dear John,

I pray you and your loved ones are well! 

It is hard to believe that we are nearing the end of another year. Whether you subscribe to St. Anthony Messenger magazine, one of our many digital resources, or you are reading one of our hundreds of books, I pray that Franciscan Media’s mission to share God’s love in the spirit of St. Francis inspires and comforts you in 2021 and beyond. We love what we do—and we know you love it too!   

November 30th is GivingTuesday, an opportunity for people around the world to come together to give, show kindness, and share what they have with people in need. Your gift and partnership with Franciscan Media will help publish new books and magazine articles, create new media, and continue to inspire and promote harmony, joy, and simplicity to our 175,000 daily email recipients.

When so much attention is given to what divides us, generosity brings people together. God gave St. Francis of Assisi companions to help share God’s love through his new way of life, and the Gospel message spread like fire. Your act of generosity will help Franciscan Media continue spreading this message to all corners of the earth.

GivingTuesday is an even better time to donate! Thanks to an anonymous benefactor, any donation you make today through November 30th will be matched up to $25,000. Right now, your generous $100 donation becomes $200!  

Everyone has something to give, and every act of generosity counts! 

Fr. Dan Kroger, OFM
