From the Pastor s Desk his Sunday we hear the story of the rich man who asked Jesus, Good teacher, what must I do to T inherit eternal life? Jesus knowing his heart, looking at him, loved him and said to him, You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me. The man went away sad because he had many possessions and could not bear to part with them. e may not consider ourselves rich even though we live in a home, condominium or apartment, W have food in our kitchens and pantries, and have an income that makes it possible to live. At the same time, people know they can t rebuy the home they own with the price of real estate today. I trust that each person is grateful for what they do have, what they are able to share with others, supporting the needs of the poor, family members in need and not forget the church in the many priorities and obligations that parishioners have. s I said, last week, we are seeking an increase in our weekly offertory collection so that we can continue the ministries in our parish. I am grateful for the sacrifice of so many, and trust that everyone will contribute, do their part, A share the load and support the parish. Though we have done our level best to contain costs there are still major costs ahead: to replace the vertical blinds that are failing, find a reasonable solution to our failing sound system in the big church and possibly have money to consider another part time staff person. We also want to compensate those who work for the parish based on diocesan salary guidelines. lease prayerfully consider what you can do based on the suggestions on the commitment card, to consider a 3%, P 5% or more percentage increase to support the parish. If for some reason, you haven t contributed before, now is the time to begin a weekly or monthly commitment to support the church. Saint Anthony parish relies on each household s generosity to support the work and ministries of the church. Let us reflect on our grateful living and how we can joyfully give back some measure of what God gives to us.

We are grateful for all that you will do. One vital step in the process of onboarding a volunteer is the necessary screening for protection of our children and vulnerable adults. Please visit the Saint Anthony website and look towards the bottom on the homepage for the Virtus training link. When you have completed the online training you will be provided with a certificate. Please print or email this and provide a copy to the Parish Office. Certification is valid for three years so if you think your certification has expired please complete the training again - just to be sure. When this is received by the Parish Office you will be provided with a Live Scan fingerprinting order form. Both fingerprinting and screening are needed for all volunteers at Saint Anthony Church. Protection and transparency is a priority to us. Please join us in keeping everyone safe. 2018/ 2019 PASTORAL COUNCIL Ramiro Bejinez, Vicki DeMaio, Jennifer Griffith, Pauline Golitz, George Houston, Sheryl Hydorn, Sandy Lorion, Mike Maniglia, Joanne McMillen, Mike Quint, Oscar Ruiz & Tom Victorine (Council Chair) FINANCE COMMITTEE Ron LaValley (Committee Chair), Maria McMurray, Bob Taccini, Matt Tanzi, Lily Marinsik, Ken McMaster, Bill Zillman RECONCILIATION Anytime by Appointment RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS Annually at the Easter Vigil.
