The Jasper Family is helping us celebrate the feast day of St. Francis with a monthlong $50,000 matching grant opportunity. Will you double your impact this month?
Dear John, Not long before he died, St. Francis of Assisi wrote, “Praise and bless my Lord, and give him thanks, and serve him with great humility.” On behalf of all of us at Franciscan Media, in all humility, I thank you for your generosity throughout the year. Without your support, our work would not be possible. The Jasper Family Foundation, which has supported Franciscan Media for many years, is graciously donating $50,000 toward our October matching campaign. As I said last week, we are offering a handsome digital package that includes Father Frank Jasper’s photos of Assisi to those who donate. We are in week two of this matching campaign. As you can see from the paragraph above, we are making progress! Thank you to those of you who have donated and doubled your impact. This opportunity to double your impact is only available through All Saints' Day, Friday, November 1. | As our colleague, Pat McCloskey, OFM, wrote in his book Peace and Good: Through the Year with Francis of Assisi, “People were attracted to Francis because of the integrity of his life.” I love that his entire being was a living witness to a loving God. And with your help, the life and legacy of St. Francis can be shared with generations to come. May God give you peace! | Deacon Matthew Halbach, PhD President & Publisher, Franciscan Media
