• We are still collecting plastic bags for the Methodist Church for the mat making project. You may leave your bags at the back of the church or drop them off at the office. Anyone interested in helping put the mats together let me know. They have made at least one mat and usually work on Tuesdays.

• Mass intention requests are needed. Please consider offering a mass for loved ones, both living and deceased. There is no better way to honor those you love, than to offer a Mass for their intentions.

• Believe like Mary, Trust like Joseph, Hope like Sheppards, Seek like Wise Men, Praise like Angels, Love Like Jesus. Borrowed from the St. Mary’s bulletin. Words for inspiration.

• A HUGE THANK YOU to all of our volunteers who work hard all year and are very dedicated. All of us contribute in some way to make St. Anthony’s what it is growing into.

• Let us say a prayer of gratitude to our CCD teachers as they start the new year.
