Is God calling you to be a Catechist?
We are in need of Catechists for the next school year. Catechists are ordinary people, just like you, who generously volunteer their time to share our Catholic faith, values, and traditions with our younger generations. If you are interested in helping out with the youth program, please contact Andrea at youthformation@stanthonyprospect.org, or by phone at 203-758-4848, ext. 19.

Catholic Question Corner
Thank you to Richard Irwin for providing us with the question and answer to this week's Catholic Question Corner!
How is the family connected to the Catholic Church?
When Our Holy Mother went to visit St. Elizabeth after becoming pregnant with Jesus, the concept of how the Church would see the family as a basis for human development came to be. Both Holy Mary and St Elizabeth began the growth of their sons from a concept of love and gave each instruction on life growth leading to their duties guiding the Church development.
Do you have a question about our Catholic Faith?

New emails for St. Anthony Staff
Many of us received new email addresses a few months ago.
Unfortunately, we are hearing that several people have found our emails in their “junk” or “spam” folders. We rely on this form of communication
with you. Please check those folders, for anything from us,
and mark them as “safe”. Thank you!
