Readings for October 27, 2019 Pico Iyer, a writer, says "Autumn days are reminders of how much we cannot afford to take for granted, and how much there is to celebrate right now. The fall (brings) the acute awareness that almost nothing lasts forever...the season's special lesson is to cherish everything because it cannot last."

November 1st - Feast of All Saints Masses: 8:00 am, 12:15 (followed by Adoration for one hour) and 6:00 pm November 2nd - All Souls Mass of Remembrance, 9:00 am to remember our dearly departed. The names of all those who celebrated a funeral Mass or Memorial service at St. Anthony Church this past year will be read.
