Dear Friends of Padua Center,
Another year has passed and Padua Center is still thriving because of your generosity.
We had a great year! Looking at the financials, on page two of this report, you will note the positive bottom line! You will also notice that donations are almost half of the income for Padua Center. That total is because of YOUR GENEROSITY. Your past generosity gives us confidence as Padua Center moves into new challenges.
This report covers July 1, 2024- June 30, 2025. Please take time to read about our activities and accomplishments.
This year we are faced with a new challenge. The Lucas County Land Bank owns the property the playground is on and has graciously allowed Padua Center to lease the present location but now the property will be utilized by the new Community Center.
The Land Bank has several properties that will be usable for a new playground and plans are being made to build a playground on those properties. Unfortunately, the majority of the playground equipment cannot be moved and new equipment will need to be purchased.
With this report is also a request for support for the new “Playable, Fitness Ground.” Once again, we will count on your generosity. May you have a Blessed Christmas and a Healthy and Happy New Year.
Peace and All Good Things,
Sister Virginia Welsh, osf
Executive Director
