Spring is a beautiful time of the year! The cold and snow are gone! The grass is getting greener, the buds are on the trees, the early flowers are up and showing color. God is good! We are blessed in so many ways. The crops are being planted and our gardens and flower beds are being tilled and seeded. Growth and beauty is all around us.
Don’t forget to say a little prayer, thanking God for His Love.
*”Heavenly Father, Lord of all creation and Giver of all life, we praise You for Your goodness to us. Give us the weather we need to grow our crops. Bless these fields and gardens, and make them yield bountiful harvests. Bless those who work here and grant that all our work may bring You greater honor and glory and lead us closer to You. We ask this grace in the Name of Jesus our Lord. Amen”

MANY PARISHIONERS TOOK TIME TO ATTEND SERVICES DURING HOLY WEEK. ST. ANTHONY HAD A BIGGER CROWD THAN WE DID DURING THE PAST YEARS. WE HAD OVER 1,500 PEOPLE ATTENDING THROUGHOUT HOLY WEEK. WHAT CAN THE PARISH DO TO GET MORE PEOPLE TO ATTEND NEXT YEAR? LET ME KNOW. FR. JACK

Talk to Father Jack

People often have questions they want to ask, but never get a chance! They may have an opinions on how the parish is doing things, should be doing things, or should not be doing things. Again they never find an opportunity to express their thoughts.

Welcome to our new website and my blog “Ask Fr. Jack”. This will give our parishioners and visitors an opportunity to ask questions and offer feedback about our parish. While I may not be able to answer all questions, but I will do my best. If I can’t answer something, because I don’t know or because I am bound by some promise, I will tell you. I hope to use this blog to allow you to get to know me a bit better, and to offer an opportunity to learn more about the Catholic faith, our traditions, and how things work in our parish and the Church.

My goal is to up-date the “Talk to Fr. Jack” blog weekly. In order get an answer to your concern or question, you will have to refer back to this blog site. Feel free to comment on my letters and/or on each others comments.

I hope this blog will help everyone know their parish better and to love it more!
--Fr. Jack
