Welcome to our NEWS and INFORMATION page!
We are in the process of 'building' a new ministry ... MINISTRY OF BEREAVEMENT AND CONSOLATION.
This ministry will assist individuals/families who have lost a loved one through natural or accidental death. When such tragedies occur in family life, faith is put to the test. Funeral liturgies need to be planned together with myriad details that demand immediate attention. We hope that, as a parish, St. Anthony's could be represented by this Committee who will be in immediate contact with the family to help with Church-related arrangements.
Our Office of Faith Formation, under the leadership of Michelle Kriss (Director), is working with a group of persons who will initiate the ministry. Whisper a prayer that whatever we do in thought and action may bring comfort, consolation and the strengthening grace of the Lord into the lives of those who are sadened by death in the family.
