Did you know?
St. Anthony will offer two Teaching Masses the weekend of January 21st (5pm Mass) and January 22nd (9am Mass). The Teaching Masses will explain why we do what we do during Mass. Please remember the 10:45am Mass on January 22nd will move to 11am to allow extra time for the Teaching Mass. If you have questions about the liturgy, submit them to
Laurie Polkus and they will do their best to answer them!

Do you wonder:
What do they mean when they say 'the Liturgy is the work of the people'? How did our Catholic Mass develop? What is Divine Worship? Join us for a presentation and discussion on The Catholic Liturgy,
on January 7th, 8:15am-12pm. All are welcome at this Forming the Catechetical Spirit session! Contact Ann Fons in the Faith Formation office if you plan to attend and have not already registered for the entire series.
