Sponsored by the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal and their associates, this event will take place in the St. Antoninus church hall. The celebration begins at 10:30 AM with prayers, followed by a beautifully prepared sit-down Thanksgiving meal.

In past years, the CFRs and their associates distributed Thanksgiving food bags, but beginning last year, the gathering has grown into an elegant catered meal, complete with a live R&B band.

The friars and the CFR Associates will be serving throughout the day. If you would like to volunteer, please contact the parish office. See the flyer inside for details.

Is Mary Still Mediatrix of Graces?

A new Church document suggests not, but the truth is a little more complicated.


On November 4, 2025, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith released a doctrinal note entitled Mater Populi Fidelis (“Mother of the Faithful People”), “on Some Marian Titles Regarding Mary’s Cooperation in the Work of Salvation.” This note is in response to many requests, mostly in relation to the request of a Fifth Marian Dogma of Mary’s Spiritual Maternity (which includes the titles Co-redemptrix, Mediatrix, and Advocate).
