What's Happening in the Parish?!
Welcome to St. Anthony Parish
Pentecost
Sunday, May 31st, 2020
My Dear Parishioners,
Congratulations to our graduating eighth graders. There was a wonderful gathering on
the school grounds for our large group. God bless our graduates and may the Holy Spirit be their guiding light for the future.
Plans continue to be made for our Corpus Christi procession on June 14th after the 11AM Mass. More details are in the bulletin. Remember: The Procession is in motorcade this year, so call the office to secure a place for your vehicle if you would like to participate. We will stop at MacRae Park for the Solemn Blessing over our city. You can see the route in the flyer or online.
This week is the Annual Priests’ Retreat. While the Conception Abbey is closed and there will be no formal retreat, Fr. Dolan and I will be out of the parish for a retreat time. Please remember us on Monday through Wednesday of this coming week.
This is Pentecost Sunday. Please remember to specifically pray to the Holy Spirit during these days of this week—the Octave of Pentecost. May the Holy Spirit send forth the fire of healing and deliverance to free us from the scourge of pandemic and set us free to serve the Lord in joy.
God bless you
Monsignor Frank E. Chiodo
Pastor

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.
