5 From Msgr. Frank Chiodo Friends; During the final days of Advent I invite you to take some quiet time---even a few minutes to reflect in prayer upon the meaning of the season. Ask the Good Lord to pour forth His Blessings upon our homes, our parish and our country. I encourage you to invite friends and relatives to St. Anthony s for Christmas Mass. Here is the Christmas Mass schedule. Please make sure and invite your family, friends and neighbors. Christmas Mass Schedule Christmas Eve Day- Wednesday December 24th 4PM Church** (Solemn Mass*) 4PM Parish Hall 6PM Church-Spanish 10PM Church** (Solemn Mass*) **Procession of the Star. A St. Anthony tradition which spans the decades. During the procession at the beginning of the Mass, the star proceeds down the church aisle from the loft to the crib, highlighting the trek taken by the shepherds and the three kings. A lovely tradition of our great parish. Christmas Day Thursday December 25th 7AM Church 9AM Church-Latin High Mass 11AM Church (Solemn Mass*) *Solemn Mass indicates the use of incense and the assistance of Deacon(s).
