Dear Friends,

We did it! Congratulations on a successful ADA campaign.

At the writing of this, April 22nd, it appears we have come

within earshot of the goal—and I am confident we shall make

it by the time this bulletin appears in print. A big thank you

to all who have donated thus far. The last time that St. An-

thony made the ADA goal was in 2005. This is something to

be proud of. If you have not given yet, there is still time to be

part of something historic. I want to especially commend

Todd Bordenaro for his leadership in this appeal effort. He

and his team went the extra mile and worked overtime in

generating a positive approach to our appeal effort.

May is the month dedicated to our lady, May stands for

Mary. May crowning will be at 8:30am Mass with the Altar

& Rosary Society. Please remember to pray the rosary daily,

especially during this month. Pray individually—-and ideally

as a family. The family that prays together, stays together.

Thanks, and God bless you all.

What a beautiful day it was last Sunday, with 82 children receiving their

First Holy Communion! Thank you to all of the parents who entrust the

teachers and catechists to help you in forming your children in our faith. I

have to say, I love being a Catholic! I want to be a Catholic, and I choose

to be a Catholic. I hope you love it too! I hope you look forward to Mass

every week, and regularly think about what the Sacraments have meant in

your life. Continue to pray for the young people of the parish as the

sophomores receive their Confirmation on May 13th. Bishop Pates will be
