We continue to respond to guidance with regard to the Coronavirus Outbreak with the number one priority being the safety and well being of all of our community members. Earlier today, the Archdiocese of Milwaukee directed all schools to cancel all extra-curricular activities through April 1st, effective immediately. In parity with that development, we have made the difficult decision to postpone until further notice all of this weekend's faith formation programming, including the Family Program and La Petite sessions.

These postponements come after significant reflection, discussion, and deliberation and is consistent with other actions across the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.   Our hope is that we might find an opportunity to offer a more fitting closure to this year's program via some future convening, whether in person or virtually. For the time being, though, we are making your safety, and the safety of all in our community, our first priority.

Our parish leadership is committed to keeping you informed of developments within our faith community, and to that end I want to encourage you to visit our Coronavirus Page on the website ( www.stanthony.cc/coronavirus). This page is being updated multiple times a day and is time-stamped so you can keep up to date as needed.  I will continue to share information that is specific to our faith formation programming with you via email.

With the rapidly developing nature of this situation, I ask your patience with our team as we work to make good decisions on behalf of our community, and as we communicate that information in an organized manner. Most importantly, please make the decisions for your family that you feel are in the best interest of their safety and the safety of other vulnerable individuals in our community.

In this time of uncertainty, many are experiencing a heightened level of anxiety. This is a time when we rely on our faith and turn to God in prayer. Thank you for your ongoing prayers and patience.

Blessings,

Kathie Amidei
