Share in the blessing of God's Mission at St Antoninus
Jesus pleaded with his disciples “The Harvest is great but the laborers are few. Pray to the Lord of the Harvest to send out workers into the vineyard” (Luke 10:2).
This is our primary mission at St Antoninus: to bring in that “harvest of souls.”
How do we do this? Making disciples who will make disciples. This involves various ministries and opportunities for prayer, but clearly our greatest treasure here is our Sunday 10am Mass, in which we taste the reality of the Eucharist when heaven comes to earth and time ceases.
In addition to our Charismatic Mass every Sunday, we are exceedingly blessed to have many ministries and devotions: daily Mass & outdoor benediction, daily online Rosary, Eucharistic Adoration all day, 5 days a week, two weekly prayer meetings, two weekly scripture studies, monthly Healing Masses, Life in the Spirit Seminars twice a year, prayer conferences twice a year, and numerous activities involving our youth, young adults and family ministries, not to mention various outreach missions in the neighborhood and beyond.
In the spirit of gratitude for all the blessings which the Lord continues to pour out upon us, and trusting that with the Lord there is always more, we believe that with God’s help we will continue to expand our outreach in the coming months and years.
Please support us in this mission by participating in our 2021 Thanksgiving Harvest celebration on Sunday, November 14th!
Our appeal
We enjoy the blessing of having beautiful lower and upper church structures. The foundation stones of each were respectively laid in 1911 and 1940.
It is understandable that they now need some TLC, particularly in terms of electrical and HVAC repairs and upgrades. The same inefficient and dilapidated heating system functions for the upper and lower church, and other than two recently installed and very temporary and inadequate window units in the hall, we do not have and never had air conditioning in either location.
There is still so much to be done and this year’s Thanksgiving Harvest is vital to that work. We ask you , the parishioners and friends of St Antoninus Church, to help us to exceed all previous years in fundraising. Our goal this year is $150,000. That is a significant amount but if everyone does what they can, this will be possible.
Please consider being a Major Sponsor or Benefactor in anticipation of this year’s Thanksgiving Harvest on November 14, 2021 or simply give as generously as your means allow. Please extend this invitation to your family and friends, your business associates and any organizations you represent or belong to.
Through your prayers and financial support you share in our mission of building a future for generations yet to come. May our good God, the Lord of the Harvest, abundantly reward your generosity and hard work in Christ Jesus Our Lord.
In Jesus thru Mary (and St.Joseph),
Fr Joseph
