THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH
Our lives sometimes go through seasons of change; of closeness to God and distance from Him. Yet God the Father's love is steadfast and ever-present to those who seek with a sincere heart, no matter what sins or situations have caused separation. If you know of someone who has considered becoming Catholic and beginning a new "season" in his or her life, think of perhaps inviting them to attend an RCIA session with you. The first session will be Monday, October 16th at 6PM in Tetu Hall. Call 625-6409 for more information.

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 gives 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.”
Sincerely,
Very Rev. Fr. Richard Dion, V.F., Pastor -

NEWS AND EVENTS
St. Anthony Parish will soon begin a new journey in faith to share the richness of the Catholic Church and our parish family. We invite you to learn what the Church teaches, and be introduced to some of our parish members. These RCIA ( Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) sessions are opportunities for you, and others you may wish to invite, to ask those perplexing and difficult questions you may have about the Catholic Church. You get to learn what it is Catholics believe in an open and welcoming environment. The first session will be held in Tetu Hall (the basement of the rectory building) on Monday, October 16th at 6PM. Dinner will be served, so please let us know if you plan to attend this first night’s session. Call the rectory office at 625-6409 if you have any questions, or would like further information. Or email the office at holytony4@comcast.net

In Baptism, we are called to share in the life of the Blessed Trinity in such a way that the one God in three persons actually comes to dwell within us. We celebrate the Trinity and the power of God’s grace in us every time we sign ourselves in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, a belief we affirm by then saying, “Amen.” - See more at: http://cardinalsblog.adw.org/2015/05/trinity-sunday/#sthash.bOrVovzI.dpufIn Baptism, we are called to share in the life of the Blessed Trinity in such a way that the one God in three persons actually comes to dwell within us.
