ADVENT
STARTING NOVEMBER 29
Advent is when the ecclesiastical year begins. During this time the faithful are admonished to prepare themselves worthily to celebrate the anniversary of the Lord’s coming into the world as the incarnate God of love, thus to make their souls fitting abodes for the Redeemer coming in Holy Communion and through grace, and thereby to make themselves ready for His final coming as judge, at death and at the end of the world. Every Saturday there will be Communal Penance for reconciliation starting at 9am. Join the Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe. We hope you will find ways to draw closer to Jesus this Advent.

Pastor's Corner - Join the New Evangelism with Monsignor!
Monsignor's Chiodo wants to give you many ways to experience worship and deepen your faith at St. Anthony Parish:
- First, we have a live feed from St. Anthony for anyone wishing to view. With the Pandemic situation, we have Masses live on a daily basis including Sunday, as well as other services.
- Next we have short faith filled videos called "Heart's Journey" that are being produced each week. Mini sermons - Why? Fewer and fewer people go to church, yet they are online. Monsignor wants to reach them.
- Next, we have short Blog posts from Monsignor on various topics of Worship, and also Blog posts on important topics/people/updates within our parish family.
- Finally, we have Audio Podcasts available to deepen your faith.
