for you to place your offering in. 4. We will continue to
livestream the 9:00 AM Sunday Mass via Facebook and also have past
Masses avail-
able on our St. Anthony’s YouTube Channel. 5. We will distribute
communion in the parking lot at the 9:00 AM Sunday Mass only. If

STEWARDSHIP MOMENT “…as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must
forgive.” - 3:13 Forgiving is one of the hardest things for people
to do. We can’t give what we don’t have, so we need to receive
God’s mercy and forgiveness first before we can give it to others.
Go to the sacrament of Reconciliation and receive God’s mercy and
forgiveness. Then, give the gift of forgiveness to a family member,
a friend or a co-worker.
