There is so much to pray for. So many lives affected. Today, and forever, I grieve the loss of life. I grieve for the people who died in Uvalde, Texas. I grieve for their families, friends, and coworkers. I grieve for those who were there and feel both lucky and guilty that they survived while others died. We have witnessed another national tragedy. I grieve for those who are reminded of their own losses. The parents and family in Newton, Connecticut, and Columbine, Colorado. The church members of the congregations in Charleston, South Carolina, and Knoxville, Tennessee. Tops in Buffalo. All those who know someone who has been lost in Mass shootings and feel the rise of emotion that a day like today produces for them. I grieve for workers who must look at and remove the bodies, who try and keep the wounded alive, who must tell family members that someone they loved has died or been hurt. I grieve for the first responders who will never forget this day. I grieve for the parents who must explain today to their children. Teachers going back into their classrooms all over the world with this on their mind. I grieve for those who will die and those will lose loved ones in the next shooting. And the next. And the next. And the next. And the next. Until we decide they must stop. Until we act. I grieve for a country and for a planet where this violence is all too common, all too familiar, all too tragic. I pray that each of us commits to be a little more Christlike, a little more compassionate, a little more willing to come together to be a part of a solution. I pray that we work together to end hatred and superiority. I pray that we decide to become better people today. I pray we never forget. I pledge to remember. I pledge to become a better person.
Dress Code for Mass - I have been asked about what is proper attire for men and women to wear to Mass on Sunday. First of all, St. Anthony’s is blessed to have air conditioning. This makes our Sunday celebrations more comfortable for everyone. So how should the faithful dress when attending the celebration of the Holy Mass. We are in the Real Presence of the Lord Jesus. The faithful are encouraged to wear any modest fashion that is befitting for the House of God. We are expected to dress for the solemn and Sacred celebration of the Holy Mass. What does that mean then? We are expected to at least dress casually whereas our clothes are clean, neat and modest (decent). This should mean that shorts and dresses should not be above the knee, no beach wear, no tee shirts with questionable sayings on them, no tank tops, or plunging necklines.
Formed - In the next few months we will be introducing a program called Formed to the parish community. Formed provides the very best Catholic content from more than 60 organizations to help parishes, families and individuals explore their faith anywhere. Supporting thousands of movies, children’s programs, ebooks, audio, parish programs and studies direct to your browser, mobile or connected device. Deacon Mike will be talking about this soon. Did you know - The Pope is protected by the Swiss Papal Guard. Wearing uniforms designed by Michelangelo and commonly armed with halberds, they are capable of using heavier weapons if needed. Each member is Catholic, male, and Swiss, and must complete military training in Switzerland. They must demonstrate good conduct and be at least five-foot-eight in height. In extreme circumstances, they are expected to guard the Holy Father with their lives. The Swiss Papal Guard is the oldest active military unit in continual existence since 1506.
Wednesday June 1st at 7:00 pm. Our Lady of Victory Basilica - our vicariate region will be celebrating the 175th anniversary of the Diocese of Buffalo. Bishop Michael will be celebrating the Mass with us.
Joke of the day - . 1. Where do fish keep their money?In a river bank! Ta-daa! 2. I got into a fight with 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. The odds were against me.
Catholic Charities - St. Anthony’s has now donated $11,925.00 to Catholic Charities this year which is $300.00 over last year but short of our goal for this year. It is not too late to give. Please think of even a small gift to give to the needy of the Lackawanna area. Joke of the day - Why did the football coach go to the bank? To get his quarter back.
Facebook: Our weekend masses are now live on our Parish Facebook Page which is Facebook@stanthonylacka. We also offer the families of the deceased when we have a funeral to livestream it on Facebook so more people can watch the services.
