THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH
As we celebrate All Saints Day and recall those "living witnesses" to the joy and peace that living the Catholic life can bring, let us ask for the saints' intercession for those who are thinking about finding out more about the Catholic Faith. If someone you know would like to learn more about the Catholic Church, contact Linda Healy at the rectory office: 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 -

ST. ANTHONY PARISHADVENT RECONCILIATION
SERVICEJohn the Baptist invites us to prepare our hearts for Christ's coming! During this Holy Season of Advent, why not spend some time in quiet prayer and reflection at our Reconciliation Service. Those who have made their 1st Penance are encouraged to come to church on Sunday, December 1st at 2pm and experience the great wonder of God's loving forgiveness. Eight priests will be available to hear confessions.
LOVE TO SING?
The 4pm & the 9:30 Masses are in need of people who would like to join the music ministry. Rehearsals are on Wednesdays at 7PM, but if you are unable to attend, simply come to the choir loft 10 minutes before Mass begins where you will be welcomed & given your music books. No commitment is asked. Want to hear more? Simply call the rectory office between Monday through Thursday, 8AM & 4PM.
In order to better engage in strengthening the commitment to lifelong faith formation, this year our parish has transitioned to Family Faith Formation. At the heart of this religious education program is the church's teaching that parents are the primary educators of their children.
A Family of Faith follows a four-year cycle: one pillar of the Catechism is covered per year. Parents are given a detailed picture of authentic and vibrant Catholic family life, the tools to implement this life in their home, and age-appropriate readings, games, crafts and other activities to help them deepen their children's love for Christ and His Church.
Please click here for more information. Registration forms and schedules can be found on the left side of the page.
Classes have already started, but it's never too late to sign up!
