MERRY CHRISTMAS! A PRESENT FROM ST. ANTHONY’S When you come to Mass this Christmas, please take a copy of the book Rediscover the Saints by Matthew Kelly.

STEWARDSHIP MOMENT “When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home.” MATTHEW 1:24 As we prepare for the birth of our Lord, pray for the strength and courage to be a model of discipleship, just as Joseph was and say “yes” to the Lord’s call.
