2 Page 2 June 4, 2017 As I approach the three year anniversary of my arrival at Saint Anthony, I would like to thank all of you for your warm welcome. The school enrollment is back to full capacity, and we have been able to make a lot of improvements to our physical plant. This summer, we are moving our Pre-K classrooms to the main school campus. The students will be more secure there, the parents will have a single drop off point, and our little ones will have access to the school cafeteria for lunch. We are converting the Clubroom into three classrooms for these students. Which brings us to the dearth of meeting space available at our parish: We are looking into building a Parish Center on the site of the old Pre-K campus. The new building will house the Religious Education, Development, Accounting and Ministries offices, as well as provide flexible meeting rooms for the meetings of our various parish ministries. The building will also have a large hall, over twice the size of the Clubroom. There will also be space to add another parking lot, which we surely need. The Archbishop has given us permission to move forward with this project, and I will keep you informed as we get more information on the costs, etc. I wish you all a safe and enjoyable summer! Fr. Michael J. Grady Feast day of St. Anthony of Padua June 13th In honor of the Feast of Saint Anthony a 9 day Novena will be held after the 8:15 a.m. Mass on the following dates: June 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, (11 after 7:30 a.m. Mass), 12, and 13 Parish Ministries Ministry Center Nina Bertke Bible/Faith Sharing Group Fr.
