Every gift made by December 31 will be matched, up to $50,000.

At St. Anthony Shrine, light takes many forms.

It’s a quiet moment of grace in the Confessional.
A warm welcome at the door for someone who’s been turned away elsewhere.
A bag of groceries handed over with dignity and kindness.
A listening ear in the Women’s Medical Clinic.

This is what community looks like on Arch Street: deeply personal, rooted in compassion, and grounded in the Franciscan belief that every person is worthy of care.

As we prepare for a new year, we’re inviting you to help carry this light forward.

Thanks to generous matching donors, every gift made before midnight on December 31 will be doubled, up to $50,000. That means your support will have twice the impact—bringing hope, healing, and welcome to those who need it most in downtown Boston.

Together, we can raise $100,000 to sustain the ministries that make the Shrine such a vital presence in our community.

Will you be part of the light for the year ahead?
