HELP NEEDED AT FRIDAY BETHANY HOMES MASS Please prayerfully consider giving of your time, perhaps even just committing to a month or two at a time to helping with the weekly Friday Mass at Bethany Homes (201 University Dr S). We could really use help to transport the residents to and from their rooms to the chapel, as well as to assist in the setup for Mass. The time commitment would be from 9:30-11:30 AM. Contact Deacon Stu through the Parish Office for additional details or to offer your help! MARDI GRAS TALENT SHOW On Tuesday, February 25, at 7:00 PM, we will have a parish celebration for Mardi Gras. All are invited to attend! The Knights of Columbus will serve pancakes and there will be a pancake topping buffet of most everything you could imagine putting on a pancake. There will also be a talent show! All parishioners are invited to participate. Your talent could be anything – music, singing, magic tricks, poetry, comedy, whatever your talent is! Mark your calendars now for a fun night for the whole family! There will be a free will offering for the night. If you have a talent you would like to share, please contact Melissa at the parish office. EMHC TRAINING MEETING There will be a Training meeting for all Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion on Sunday, January 26, from 4:00-5:00 PM. All EMHC’s should plan to attend! MUCHAS GRACIAS! Thank you to the generous St. Anthony Parish community for your purchases of jewelry and weavings from our sisters in Santiago Ixcán, Guatemala! Your support of over $1,300 this year makes a huge difference to these women and their families as they struggle against poverty and lack of opportunity in their native country. Thank you again and be assured of their thanks and prayers this holy season! THE CATHOLIC FAITH. ON DEMAND. When it’s cold outside and you’re staying in but want to watch something good on TV, check out Formed.org! It’s like Netflix-only specifically Catholic! Use our parish code, H6D6VP to log in at Formed.org, setup your own account and start watching and learning more about your faith. Plus, the best part is...it’s free for you to use!
THANK YOU!
A special thank you to everyone who helped us reach our $47,000 goal for our new heat pump system. I am very grateful for your fast and generous response. May God Reward You! ~ Father Courtright

STEWARDSHIP MOMENT “Wives, be subordinate to your husbands…Husbands, love your wives…Children, obey your parents in everything…Fathers, do not provoke your children…”
3:18-21 Pope Francis said that families, through their life of prayer and love, become “schools of true human growth.” Being credible witnesses of Christian love, especially that of family members, exerts the most positive influence on our children. We are all children of God, let us pray and love each other as God, Our Father, does for us.
