What's happening at St Antoninus?

20th Sunday in Ordinary Time

This Sunday, August 18, 2024



  • 8 am Mass- Rectory Chapel
  • 10 am Mass- in Lower Church


Holy Hour with Confessions at 9am



Note:

During the hot months in the summer, our 10am Mass will be in the a Lower Church. Entrance is on S. Orange Ave.


This Sunday, the 8am Mass is back in Rectory Chapel . Due to repairs, entrance will only be thru the rectory door on the parking lot.



For those who truly cannot come to Mass on Sunday, livestream of the 10am Mass is available. Livestream does not fulfill one’s obligation, but when a person is truly unable to come to Mass, it does provide spiritual benefits.


To watch the 10am livestream on our YouTube Channel: go to https://www.youtube.com/c/SaintAntoninusChurch


Or go directly to this link. https://youtu.be/dgUOl6lrWYM

Family Harvest Offering is open to all families and individuals. 


Our Thanksgiving Harvest is not a one day event.

In fact, this begins with the Family Harvest Offering during the 10am Mass.


All Sundays leading to our big event on October 6 are open for your Family Harvest Offering.


This is the time when a family or individual comes before the altar of God to thank the Lord for all His bountiful gifts and provisions. And the blessings do not end there. 

This is a great opportunity for evangelization for you to invite your family, friends and office colleagues to your family offering . 


Pick up an envelope with a letter that you can send to your friends and family to invite them to your family offering.


 Choose your own date for your Family Offering today!

Video Lessons for
the Heart & Mind



Watch this brief video on the inspiring account of the life and lessons of St. Maximilian Kolbe.


Joy is the Gigantic Secret of the Christians - Fr. Mike Schmitz


“Joy is a choice, just like love. We can either chase the feeling or choose the reality.” Joy comes from the fact that you know that God is here and that you are known and loved by him. In Fr. Mike Schmitz’s keynote address, he shares profound insights on joy. The Christian life is a pursuit of the One who loved us first, the One in whom we find our true joy.


The Year of Parish Revival began on the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, June 11, 2023 . As we have entered this new season of grace, Bishop Cozzens has composed a beautiful prayer for the Revival and the Church. We pray in particular for our beloved St Antoninus Church....


Prayer for the Eucharistic Revival of the Church


Lord Jesus Christ, you give us your flesh and blood for the life of the world, and you desire that all people come to the Supper of the Sacrifice of the Lamb.

Renew in your Church the truth, beauty, and goodness contained in the Most Blessed Eucharist.

Jesus living in the Eucharist, come and live in me.

Jesus healing in the Eucharist, come and heal me.

Jesus sacrificing yourself in the Eucharist, come and suffer in me.

Jesus rising in the Eucharist, come and rise to new life in me.

Jesus loving in the Eucharist, come and love in me.

Lord Jesus Christ, through the paschal mystery of your death and resurrection made present in every Holy Mass, pour out your healing love on your Church and on our world.

Grant that as we lift you up during this time of Eucharistic Revival, your Holy Spirit may draw all people to join us at this Banquet of Life. You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever.

Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of the Eucharist, Pray for us.
