From the Desk of Deacon Mike
There are no words or thoughts to explain this horrible senseless murder. We all know racism is alive in the USA and many are unwilling to do anything about it. Pope Francis said this in the past about racism: “My friends, we cannot tolerate or turn a blind eye to racism and exclusion in any form and yet claim to defend the sacredness of every human life.”
From the Diocese of Buffalo - Loving God, our hearts are troubled by the violence and hatred that surround us. We are called in this moment to wrestle with the devastation, grief, and fear that remain. We acknowledge the sinfulness of any act of racism, discrimination, or hatred, because we know it is not of you. We repent of any part we may have had in allowing this evil to continue and ask your forgiveness for those times when we failed to support each other— when we failed to see you in our brothers and sisters. As your children, we seek your grace and the courage we need to demand dignity and justice for all people, regardless of race, creed, or color. Heal us as your family in this tragic moment; may those affected by this horror in any way, whom we commend to you, remind us of the ten commandments you give us, and the greatest commandment of all—to love one another. Amen
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.
Covid Prayer Service - Deacon Mike will be leading a Covid Prayer Service here at St. Anthony’s at 7:00 pm on Wednesday May 25th. The USA has lost over one million people now. We couldn’t visit our family members and loved ones in nursing homes and hospitals, many could not be with their loved ones when they died, many died all alone, many are still dealing with the grief and the pain, and we still are losing friends and family members. Hospital staffs are still in pain after experiencing so, much death. All are invited to come to pray for all who were affected in one way or another from Covid. If you want a loved one’s name registered in our Book of Life, please call the rectory at 823-0782. Please spread the word.
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 - “Mom, are bugs good to eat?” asked the boy. “Let’s not talk about such things at the dinner table, son,” his mother replied. After dinner the mother inquired, “Now, baby, what did you want to ask me?” “Oh, nothing,” the boy said. “There was a bug in your soup, but now it’s gone.
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.
