A Light for the World
At Christmas, we rejoice in the light that broke into the world on that holy night in Bethlehem — a light no darkness can overcome. Every day at St. Anthony Shrine, that same light shines through compassion, generosity, and faith — especially yours.
This Christmas, your gift will help that light shine even brighter.
As the first candles are lit in the chapel each morning, our doors open to welcome all who seek peace and hope. A mother visits the Franciscan Food Center to feed her children. A man weighed down by loneliness finds comfort in conversation with a counselor at the Fr. Mychal Judge Center for Counseling and Recovery. A passerby steps in for a quiet prayer, drawn by the warmth of God’s presence in this sacred space.
Your generosity makes these moments possible. It keeps the chapel lights glowing, the Food Center shelves full, and our doors open for all who need a reminder that God’s love is alive — right here in the heart of Boston.
You’ll bring hope to the hungry, healing to the brokenhearted, and peace to those searching for meaning. Together, we keep the light of Christ burning — a radiant sign of mercy and joy for all.
Will you help us share that light with those who need it most by making a gift before December 31?
May the peace of the Christ Child fill your heart and home this Christmas and throughout the New Year.
