Dear Church Family & Friends,

Though Masses and events are canceled God’s love and grace and mercy are not. We look unto Him the author and finisher of our faith.

The St.. Anthony’s Church is open from 7am to 2:00pm Mon.—Fri. for individuals to pray but not for a gathering of groups. (On weekends you are invited for private prayer at St. John the Evangelist Church on Saturdays 2pm-5pm and on Sundays 7:00am-11:00am & 4:00pm to 6:00pm.) We need to follow the 6 ft. apart distance and be protective at these crucial times.

For those of you have booked Masses previously and the Mass-es were not said during this time of the Corona Virus, we will reschedule at a later date. We will do our best to notify you ahead of time to those we can. Weekly bulletins are available on line and a few are located in the side entrance (Seward Place). (www.stanthonyschurch.com) You are all in our prayers. We miss seeing you face to face. Now unto Him who can do exceedingly above all that we ask or think…(Ephesians 3:20) may the Holy Spirit lead and guide us into all truth (John 13:16) during this time of transition. Peace be with you.

FROM THE PASTORS DESK

From last weekend, Palm Sunday, onward and

continuing weekend until the return of the public

celebration of Masses, I will be offering a Mass on

YouTube so you will be able to celebrate with me

tween St. Anthony’s and St. John’s Churches.
