Friends of the Parish, February is designated as St. Anthony Foundation month. The Foundation has been in existence since 1987. At all Masses on Feb. 7th and 8th, members of the Foundation Board will be speaking to the parish as to the goals and accomplishments of the Founda-tion. Members of the Foundation Board are: Gerard Neugent, Melba Scaglione, Ralph Marasco, William Trout, Stephanie Sarcone, Pete Tursi and Anthony J. Madonia, Jr. Members of the board are appointed by the Pastor to a 3 year term. The Board meets 4 times a year. We are very grateful to our Foundation Board for the work they do to guarantee resources for our future. Catholic Schools week was a great success as we pledge our continued support to Catholic education.
Have a Blessed week.

Thank you to our parishioners and the general public once again for coming
out and supporting our Live Nativity Scene in December. We had a great turn
out and was able to reenact what Christmas is really all about. With the help
of the Knights of Columbus 4th degree Pope John Paul the First Assembly #
3377 and parishioners that came out to play a role made a big impact on
the people that came to watch the event. Special thanks goes out to Scott,
Donna, Bambi, Jett, Trinty, Gianna and Ceclia for allowing us to show their
animals which always makes a live nativity very special. Also thanks to Den-
nis and Rick Miller for the help in making the manger scene and setting it up.
A big thank you goes to Monsignor for his support of this very important pro-
ject for the parish. Fun was had by all, we are looking forward to December
this year.
Thank you,
David Miller

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been seeing God all over the place lately! In
the school, the teachers who put together the students amazing schedule for
Catholic Schools Week, chose a new theme this year. They decided it would
be, “Come follow me, I will make you fishers of men.” Miss Thorson and Mrs.
Hodgson arranged a week full of activities and daily themes, based on the
scripture from Matthew. So last Sunday, when I realized the scripture they
chose was from the Mass reading, I was very impressed with their foresight
to look ahead. Well guess what? They had no idea it was the reading from
the Mass that kicked off Catholic Schools Week! But we know who did… God,
of course! God is always present, guiding us, giving us that gentle nudge. If
only we are open to hear Him, we will be given the answer we are looking for.
As I write this, I am thinking of the upcoming events in the parish and the
school. The Holy Spirit is here with all of us, all of the time…here’s proof!
·The children are receiving First Reconciliation soon, both in school and
in RE.
·We are having a wonderful new session of Discover Christ!
·There is much activity, filling boxes for Valentines for Victims!
·We are beginning Lent with an amazing dinner theatre program,
Wedding at Cana!
·Parish Mission in March!
Consider becoming involved with the many activities around the parish and
school. If there is a Bible or book study you’d like to start, call me, and we
will get it started! If you have other mission ideas, call me! If you have ways
we can give back to the amazing church community, call me! I would love to
bring your ideas to life. Let’s encourage each other to keep our minds and
hearts open for the constant love of God through the example of His son and
the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Thank you for allowing me to serve you.
