Prayer to St. Anthony of Padua

Feast Day is June 13th: Dear Saint Anthony, I extend my prayer to you, confident in your compassionate goodness, which can listen and console everyone: be my intercessor before the Lord. You who led an evangelical life, help me to live mine with faith and Christian hope; you who preached the message of charity, inspire the whole of humanity to search for peace and brotherhood; you who supported, even through miracles, the suffering and all those who were facing injustice, please sustain the poor and the forsaken of this world. Bless especially my work and my family, taking away illnesses of body and soul; make me capable of always remaining close to God, both in times of joy or sorrow, with the faith and the love of a son. Amen!

Your continued support of the Cardinal’s Annual Stewardship Appeal ensures we are equipped to serve all people in need when they approach the Church for help. Thanks to your generosity we are only $2,000 away from reaching our parish goal. If you have not yet made a pledge, please prayerfully consider doing so today. You can visit https://cardinalsappeal.org to learn about the importance of the Appeal.

. LETTERS OF SPONSORSHIP Letters of Sponsorship can be issued only to members of our parish, who are registered at least six months, regularly attend Mass, and receive the sacraments. Regular use of envelopes indicates attendances at Mass. Sponsors are to be Baptized, Confirmed, and if married, have done so in conformity with the laws of the Church. Out of town, college students should receive a letter from their campus minister. People in the military should receive a letter from their Chaplain.

HELP OUT OUR ADVERTISERS Our Sunday bulletin is an important way for us to communicate with you, especially during these days of the Coronavirus pandemic. It might be the only way that we can reach some of you. Every bulletin that you receive is paid for through the generosity of the businesses that you see advertised on the back cover. Most of these advertisers are members of our local community, and many belong to our parish. We urge you to think of them when you decide to have a meal or other item delivered to your door. Tell the business owners that you appreciate their support of our parish through their advertisements in the bulletin. This is one small way that we can work within our own community to weather the challenges that we face. Together we can help each other make it through. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
