Pastor’s Corner As we begin Holy Week, try to participate in person to celebrate the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Last year, we truly missed celebrating our salvation, but this year God has

blessed us with being able to celebrate the Sacred Triduum in person. Please make sure to participate and celebrate our salvation. God bless all your families. Fr. Thomas

ST. ANTHONY TRI-PARISH

CATHOLIC SCHOOL 1145 W. 20th St

Casper, WY 82604 307-234-2873

St. Anthony Tri-Parish Catholic School is proud to announce our Partners In Education (PIE) event to be held June 4, 2021. PIE is our school's largest yearly fundraiser, with all funds collected directly offsetting the cost of educating students, as every child who attends St. Anthony School receives scholarship in the form of subsidized tuition.

We are so excited to be able to host an in-person event! In order to maintain safety and distance, as well as ensure a more robust attendance, this year's event will be held outside on the SAS campus under the cover of tents. In the event of inclement weather, a contingency plan is in place.

This year our theme is "Rejoice in Hope," based on the scripture Romans 12:12. The evening will begin at 5 pm with appetizers and silent auction, followed by dinner, a live auction and a paddle raise.

Corporate Sponsorships are currently available for purchase. There are several levels of sponsorship with coordinating recognition and marketing benefits. All sponsorship levels also include a table reservation, as well as priority seating. Sponsorships begin at $1,500, increasing at varying levels. Sponsorship dona-tion (less dinner expense, approximately $185 per table) is tax deductible. Our "Friends & Family" tables will be available for purchase in the office starting April 2nd. Please contact Anne Derby (234-2873 ex 308) for infor-mation about corporate sponsorship.

In conjunction with our PIE event, tickets are on sale NOW for the Ultimate Disney World VIP Experience. This once in a lifetime experience is for up to five guests. and includes a stay on a Disney property for five nights in a one bed-room Villa. The Villa includes full kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a private bedroom. Enjoy all four Disney theme parks with a 5-day hopper ticket for five people. Be treated like Disney royalty on a day long VIP tour for up to 10 people, where you will be chauffeured around by your very own private Disney tour guide to all four Disney World Parks with little to no waiting for any rides! Enjoy preferred seating at all shows, parades, and fireworks. There are no blackout dates but some dates are in very high demand, so plenty of notice needs provided when booking. This amazing opportunity expires in one year. Value: Over $16,500.

Tickets can be purchased in the SAS Office or on our website at https://sascasperwyo.square.site/. All proceeds directly benefit the students of SAS. Thank you to the Pete and Kinley Maxwell family for their very generous donation.
