Pastor: Rev. Father John Valdez
A PERSONAL RESPONSE OF FAITH
Today’s Gospel starts with a conversation with which Jesus begins his
journey to Jerusalem—and the cross. As his followers, we strive to march with
him, even to the cross.
Paul’s Letter to the Galatians tells us that we who have been baptized
have “clothed” ourselves with Christ. Being one with Christ, we must no longer
discriminate according to nationality or race, according to social status, accord-
ing
to gender.
The prophet Zechariah, centuries before anyone heard of Jesus, spoke of
how the people find God’s message uncomfortable, and so turn against the
messengers. Later, though, the people awaken to the realization of what they
have done and are moved to repentance. Thus, they are always welcomed back
by God, who always gives us grace to do the right thing, however difficult it
may be.

VOTE FOR TWO WOMEN TWO MEN: PASTORAL COUNCIL aka PARISH COUNCIL:
FARRON URBANCZYK writes “I married Greg and we have been married for almost 11 won-derful years. We have 3 children: Dylan, Gavin, and Colton. I am employed as a 4 th grade teacher at St. Anthony Catholic School and have been for the past 2 years. I also serve as a Eucharistic Minister.

hospitality for new RCIA groups.

He graduated from St. Anthony School as well as did all three of their daughters. He is currently a Communion Minister to the Sick and member of the Cemetery Committee.

His hobby is cooking, especially BBQ-ing and has fed „the masses‟ in St. Anthony Parish and School at numerous events over the years, cooking for the RCIA Retreatants every Palm Sunday for 17 years. In his words “I said yes to this nomina-tion because Father John and The Lord are telling us we should say “yes” to doing God‟s work. If the people elect me, I will do my best to do that.”
COOKIE STEVENS (formerly Cookie Tarr) has been a member of St. Anthony‟s Parish over 30 years. She has 3 grown children and 3 granddaughters. “I married Jimmy Stevens April 27, 2013 “at last” :) after he completed the RCIA process. I currently am a Lector and help with the parish youth at various events and I have helped with RCIA hospitality.” She wonders, through this chance at being elected to the Pas-toral Council, “What is my gift for thanking God today?” Cookie has also served on the ACTS Team for a Women‟s Diocesan Retreat.
ERNEST FLOOD has been married to Carmen for 47 years and joined the Church in 1988; they have 4 sons and 6 grandchildren. He has spent his life in agribusiness and has served on the pastoral council for 1term, putting his name into nomination again, saying “I would like to encourage people to become involved in our parish so together we can come up with new ideas for growing in our faith.” Ernest has been a Com-munion Minister for 10 years, has served as parish core leader for Why Catholic?, is in the Men‟s Choir, and has been a Lector.

We are both life long Catholics. We are so happy and blessed to be members of St. An-thony's. It would be an honor to be on the parish council. I was on it many years ago and recommend it for every-one, as you find out what is happening at St. Anthony's and can contribute in this way. I have served St. Anthony's as a lector, Eucharistic minister and greeter.
