🌿✝️ A Joyful Celebration of Faith ✝️🌿
Our parish community has been beautifully blessed these past weeks!
At the Easter Vigil Mass, we joyfully witnessed Charles (“Chopper”) and Garett receive the Sacraments of Initiation. What a powerful and moving celebration of new life in Christ—welcome fully into the Church!
And just last Sunday at the 8:00 AM Mass, Emma, Maia, and Maggie were confirmed, sealing their faith with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We are so proud of each of them as they continue their journeys of faith.
Please join us in congratulating all five of these wonderful individuals and keeping them in your prayers as they grow ever closer to God. 🙏💛
“Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit.” 🕊️

We are so grateful to everyone who helped make our second pancake breakfast such a fantastic success! From the smiling faces in attendance to those working behind the scenes, this event truly reflected the strength and spirit of our St. Anthony’s community.
A heartfelt thank you to all who attended and to those who generously shared their time, tithe, and talent. Your support, whether through volunteering, donating, cooking, or simply showing up, made all the difference. Because of you, it was not only a delicious morning but also a meaningful time of fellowship and connection.

✨🙏 A Beautiful First Holy Communion & Mother’s Day Celebration 🙏💐
Today’s 10:30 Mass at St. Anthony’s was especially meaningful as we came together to celebrate both First Holy Communion and Mother’s Day. What a blessing to witness these wonderful children receive the Eucharist for the very first time—such a sacred and joyful milestone in their faith journey.
It was made even more special as we honored all the amazing mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures who guide their children in faith and love each day. Your support, prayers, and example help shape these young hearts in such beautiful ways. 💛
The smiles, reverence, and excitement of our First Communicants, combined with the love we shared in celebrating our mothers, truly made this a joyful and memorable day for our parish family.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this celebration so special. May God continue to bless our children and all the wonderful moms in our community today and always. 🌸
