St. Anthony’s Parish is a Catholic Faith community rich in cultural diversity with a strong flavor of identity.
Our mission is to foster a strong spir-itual growth of life and faith in our fami-lies, community and society by sharing the gift of our time, treasures and tal-ents.
We hope to do this with a Spirit of Christian generosity that brings us closer to the blessing of unity, peace and reconciliation.
Like St. Anthony called to love and to serve - we try our best in following Christ on the road of this world using God-given gifts for his glory and for the good of our brothers and sisters.

The eyes of all look to you, O Lord, and you give them food in due season.
Our commitment to Christ will be put to the test some me in our life journey. “Do not be afraid,” Jesus assures us three mes in today’s Gospel. Though He may permit us to suffer for our faith, our Father will never forget or abandon us. As Jesus assures us today, everything unfolds in His Providence, under His watchful gaze—even the falling of the niest sparrow to the ground. Each one of us is precious to Him. Steadfast in this faith, we must resist the tac cs of Satan trying to confuse our rela onship with God the Father and his love for us. By the gra‐
cious gi of himself, Jesus bore the transgressions of the world, Paul tells us in today’s Epistle. In rising from the dead, He has shown us that God rescues the life of the poor, that He does not spurn His own when they are in distress. In His great mercy, He will turn toward us, as well. He will deliver us from the power of the wicked. FIRST COMMUNION PHOTOS: Congratulations to all the children who received their First Communion last weekend!

XII DOMENICA DEL TEMPO ORDINARIO / A
L'umanità è stata resa vittima del pecca-to dal primo Adamo; ma il dono di grazia di Gesù Cristo nuovo Adamo è stato riversato su tutti gli uomini. Dio, in Cristo vuole la salvezza di tutti: sta agli uomini scegliere se stare con l'umanità pecca-trice o con quella salvata. La storia
dell'uomo sarà sempre confronto tra chi sta con Cristo, diven-tandone testimone e profeta, e chi sta dalla parte del vecchio Adamo, facendosi persecutore dei seguaci di Cristo. Chi sta con Cristo sa che sempre subirà persecuzione, ma, anche morendo, sarà con Cristo; e sa che nessuna persecuzione potrà cancellare la presenza di Cristo e della sua Chiesa dal-la storia del mondo. Vale anche per noi oggi, in particolare per i fratelli perseguitati in molte parti del mondo, l'appello alla fiducia: chi è con Cristo non teme la persecuzione e la morte. COMMUNITY
