into different shapes. Please join us in the basement
at Assumption and the Faith Formation Center at
St. Anthony to learn this amazing trade and talent!

adoration of the Blessed Sacrament at St. Anthony’s
after the Holy Thursday Mass until midnight. The
parishioners from both parishes have been divided
up into groups according to their last names and
have scheduled hours for them to come and pray.

you are able. The hours are as follows- A-F:

Jarod during the RCIA Penitential Rite and our Elect

for our Candidate and Elect as they enter their final

asked our parishes to support the Pontifical Good
Friday Collection, which helps Christians in the Holy
Land. Your support helps the church minister in
parishes, provide Catholic schools and offer religious

provides humanitarian aid to refugees. Please be
generous!

Help “Beat the Heat” at St. Anthony’s
It’s hard to imagine now, but things will
eventually heat up again! The Finance and
Parish councils have approved moving forward
with installing air conditioning in the church. Remember, air conditioning
will not only be for the comfort of the parishioners and visitors at the
parish for Sunday Masses, weddings and funerals but it will also help
maintain the church interior by helping keep the humidity level at a
constant. This is good for the paint, the organ & piano, as well as the
woodwork. The total cost of this project is $19,992.63 and we are roughly
half way there with past donations and the proceeds from the Catholic
Order of Foresters soup and Bouja sales this winter. Plans have been
made to have this installed in May. Please consider helping us “beat the
heat”! We will be having a second collection for this on May 12
th
.
Snow Removal Thank You! A special thank you to our “snow
warriors” for the winter for keeping the church grounds safe and clear
of snow and ice. Thank you especially to Ron Yanish for clearing the lots
and Adam Teicher for taking care of the rest. Thank you also to anyone
else who grabbed a shovel or spread out sand/grit when needed.
Thank you! - March Food Drive Thank you so much to all of the
Faith Formation Students and Teachers for their VERY successful Food
Drive in March. The teachers and students brought in over 250
nonperishable food items! Because of your donations, those less fortunate
will have food on their plate. Thank you for your generosity!
Fish Fry THANK YOU! A big thank you goes out to everyone who
helped with the fish fry! There were many hands at work with planning,
food prep and set up the days prior, bar and treat makers, and volunteers
working the night of. We served an amazing 864 dinners and take outs!
Thank you to everyone who came out to eat and also to everyone who
spread the word! The total profit made will be published once all the bills
are submitted.
No Breakfast on Sunday, April 14
th
There was a conflicting event
on Sunday, April 14th. We will no longer be holding the breakfast hosted
by our Faith Formation Families and Students on this date. At this time
we are unsure of rescheduling. Thank you for your patience.

Steubenville Weekend
For Grades 8-12
This summer our Parish
communities will be sending a
group of students to Steubenville in Rochester the
weekend of July 12-14. All students in grades 8-
12 (school year 2018-2019) are invited to sign up and
attend. The theme this year is 'Belong'. Steubenville is
an amazing opportunity for students to 'get away' and
get reconnected to God and deepen their faith. With
amazing speakers, music, break out sessions, and
discussions, they are sure to return to our community
reawakened to the goodness of God. The average cost
for Steubenville is around $250. We are only asking
parents to pay $75 of the cost and the parishes will
cover the rest. Father Aaron and I are so excited about
the opportunity to bring the students and
experience this weekend with them. We are also
inviting any other adults who would be interested in
chaperoning to contact the Faith Formation Office and
let Christy know. Registration materials were sent
home this week with students. If you have any
questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to Christy
for answers.

Traveling Chalice and Madonna
FAMILY LIFE can build values integral to a strong
vocation…whether to Priesthood, religious life or
marriage. Teaching your children to value
commitment, service and prayer will help them
make strong vocation decisions as adults and live
out those vocations with success and fulfillment.
Thank you to Gary & Joyce Nohner for hosting the
Traveling Chalice and Madonna this week.
