THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH
Life has many storms - distressful relationships, jobs, poor health; situations where we feel our powerlessness. If you know someone unbaptized or baptized in a non-Catholic Christian tradition who is searching for strength and understanding to weather such squalls, why not invite them to see what the Catholic Church has to offer! Sessions will begin soon. For more information, or to sign up, contact Linda Healy at the church rectory at 625-6409. -

Welcome - Rectory Office Hours: 8AM-4PM, Monday-Thursday 603-625-6409
It is the most basic desire within the human heart to search for lasting peace and happiness. In response to this desire Jesus says: “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matt 11:28-30). If we turn to Jesus without hesitations or reservations He will give us that “peace that surpasses all understanding” (Phil 4:7), the peace we desire.
St. Anthony of Padua Parish, where the French tradition will always be part of the fabric of our community, is wholly committed to bringing Christ to whoever seeks Him. This happens primarily in the sacraments, but also in fellowship, in Scripture studies, and other group meetings. Join us as we throw open the doors to Christ and allow Him to “give us rest.”
Very Rev. Fr. Richard Dion, V.F., Pastor -
