10th Grade Parent & Student Meeting

Wed. Oct. 30 There will be a meeting on

Wednesday, October 30th, for both Parents AND

Students from 10th grade to learn about the two

year Confirmation program. The meeting will start

at 6:35 pm and will hopefully take only an hour. It

will take place in the Faith Formation Center at St.

Anthony. If you aren’t able to make this meeting,

we will need to set up a separate time for you and

your student to meet with Father Aaron and Christy

to cover the content. Please let the Faith Formation

office know if you won’t be able to make it.

Mom's Morning - Saturday, Nov 2

nd

All

moms are welcome to come join us for breakfast,

spiritual growth, prayer, and fellowship. The next

time we will meet is on Saturday, November 2nd,

6:30 am - 8:00 am. We will meet at the St. Anthony

Rectory. Come as you are, relax, and enjoy

breakfast! RSVP At the Faith Formation Office.

Are you ready for Steubenville 2020?

The theme this summer is RESTORED! The

Steubenville Conference is for students currently in

grades 8-12. We will be traveling to St. Paul for the

Steubenville conference this summer, July 24-July

26. Registration opens November 13, and we want

to have you come with us! Your life will be

changed! Please reach out to the Faith Formation

Office if you are interested in attending this

conference so we can plan for your spot and keep

you in the know about fundraising opportunities.

Eucharistic Adoration Testimonials!

“One word describes my experience in the adoration

chapel - beautiful! People often tell me they pray at

home, or wherever they are. I do, too. But praying

in the adoration chapel is something so special

-something you won’t fully understand unless you

give it a try.” -Tammy Winter

“Last night (Sunday, Oct. 13) at the confirmation

meeting the topic was on prayer. Father Aaron

opened with prayer and explained the importance

of prayer to our lives and that to the Church. He

talked about different ways a person can pray and

the importance to take time to pray in silence and

away from distraction. One of the ways to do this is

in the adoration chapel where a person takes an hour

in the presence of Jesus to pray and listen.

Following Father Aaron, Heidi Schoenecker gave her

testimony of her struggle with her sick daughter

Kennedy and the unexplained multiple miracles that

occurred. Being an adorer during this time I prayed

especially hard for the Schoeneckers. Hearing Heidi

made me feel the little sacrifice I made probably

made an impact on how the outcome turned out.

This is only one of many answers to prayer I have

seen.” -Ron Ruhland

We would like to strengthen our regular Eucharistic

Adoration hours, add to our sub lists, and hopefully

increase our adoration hours at both St. Anthony

and Assumption parishes.

If interested in signing up for an hour call:

will be hearing from many different vocations that

evening and it should be a learning experience for

us all! Come with questions!

A Message From Amanda

Hi! My name is Amanda Steichen. I wanted to introduce myself and

my new role as music and liturgy coordinator. It’s amazing where God

leads you if you stay open to what he has planned. I never thought this

was where God was leading me to but I’m excited to see what He has in

store :)

My husband, Ryan and I have been married for seven years. We have

three children- Andrew, who is almost 5; Thomas, who is 20 months; and

Felicity who just turned 10 months old. I work at Cathedral High School

in St. Cloud teaching high school and middle school orchestra as well as

the catholic elementary schools. This year I’m at 5 elementary schools.

As the music and liturgy coordinator, I will coordinate schedules at

both Assumption and St. Anthony for cantors, musicians, and soon to be

choir members by working together to select music that fits our liturgies

and maximizes the praise we give God each week in the Mass. Music is a

very important part of every Mass, which is why we would like to have as

many people as possible involved. It would be great if everyone would

consider their talents and contribute where you are able whether that's

as a cantor, a member of the choir, or as a member of the singing

congregation.

We will be forming a new unified choir that will be joining our voices

together to sing at both parishes on a rotating schedule. Please watch the

bulletin when practices will start. As I start this new journey, I ask for your

prayers and support in helping us all grow in our faith through music.

If you would like to be trained as a cantor, please let me know. My

email is ajsteichen611@gmail.com or cell- 320-221-1922.

Traveling Chalice and Madonna

IT IS GOD REALLY GOD HIMSELF, the 'LORD of

the harvest', who chooses his laborers. His call is

always undeserved and unexpected. We are called

to cooperate with his providence, and to use the

powerful tool which he has placed in our hands:

prayer. Jesus said 'pray the Lord of the harvest to

send our laborers into his harvest!". Sincere

appreciation to Rosie Becker and Darren Becker for

hosting the Traveling Chalice this week. May these

prayers multiply many new workers in the field!
