Dawn and I celebrated our 46th Wedding Anniversary on August 6th. It has been a joy. Here are a few tips: Laugh often. Pray often. Love God. Your spouse’s needs come first. And Laugh more.
Summer Heat - Please be careful. 12 Children across the USA have died this year so far due to being locked in hot vehicles. Look in your back seats before you leave your car.
Dog Days of Summer - For many, the “dog days,” evoke those summer days that are so devastatingly hot that even dogs would lie around on the asphalt, panting. But originally, the phrase had nothing to do with dogs, or even with the lazy days of summer. Instead, the dog days refer to Sirius, the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major, which means “big dog” in Latin and is said to represent one of Orion’s hunting dogs.
To the Greeks and Romans, the “dog days” occurred around the time Sirius appears to rise alongside the sun, in late July in the Northern Hemisphere. They believed the heat from the two stars combined is what made these days the hottest of the year, a period that could bring fever or even catastrophe.
A Joke for you - I had a happy childhood. My dad used to put me in tires and roll me down hills. Those were Goodyears.
What invention allows us to see through walls? Windows.
Did you know – According to Catholic Tradition, Jesus founded the Catholic Church when he was about 33 years old. “You are Peter, a {stone;} and upon this rock I will build my {church;} and all the powers of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of {Heaven;} whatever doors you lock on earth shall be locked in Heaven, and all the door you open on earth shall be opened in Heaven!’ (Matthew 16:18-19)
Parish Registration - In the month of August we will be handing our Parish Registrations forms to all households. We need to update the number of families that we have as well as getting proper addresses, phone numbers, and Sacramental information. Even if you filled one out in the past, we would like everyone to fill a new one out. Again, this is to update our records.

Road To Renewal
Parish Meeting: We will be having a Parish meeting on August 10th at 6:30 pm to again talk about the future of St. Anthony’s in the overall Family of Parishes Renewal in the Diocese. Please plan to attend.
Zumba Classescontinue every Wednesday at 6:00 pm and every other Saturday at 10:00 am. Cost will be $7.00 per person. Please Contact Erica at 716-997-0340 or email her at emruiz07 @gmail.com. You will be required to sign an injury waiver. Bring water, your dance moves, and a smile.
Spaghetti Dinner -Tickets will be out soon. Start thinking about donating a Theme basket.
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.
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.
