Liturgical Assignments for March

Lectors & Altar Servers (OF)

Liturgical Assignments for March are

now available in the Narthex and on our

Website: stanthonytemperance.org.

Catholic Outreach is the Parish

Organization that tends to the needs

of our homebound. Currently,

greeting cards sent for various

occasions to the homebound and light

household help (raking, simple

repairs, etc.) have been ongoing

services.

One of the main points of focus is to

take Holy Communion to those who

are unable to make it to church.

Under the organization of Glenn

Ingersoll, we have several Extra-

ordinary ministers of Holy

Communion who take Communion

on a regular basis to parishioners’

homes; but with the recent rise of

requests, we could use a few more

people willing to help in this capacity.

If you are interested in learning

more about this ministry, or if you

know of someone who needs Holy

Communion brought to them,

please contact the Parish office

for/with details.

Mass Intentions Our Parish is very blessed with the

devotion of our Parishioners in having

many requests for Mass Intentions. In

order to accommodate the number of

requests we are permitted to include 2

requests for two of the weekday Masses.

Formerly, these were on Monday and

Wednesday Masses; with the recent

change in schedule (Mass on Friday

mornings instead of Monday mornings),

the Masses that may have 2 intentions are

now Wednesday and Friday. Please

contact the Parish Office if you have any

questions.

St. Anthony of Padua, our Patron and Intercessor,

Pray for Us!

St. Anthony of Padua, Our Patron and Intercessor,

Pray for Us!

Looking for that unique gift? Prayer cards are available for our Adoration

Chapel that can be used to offer an hour spent in Eucharistic Adoration for a special intention. Cards are printed on regular card stock and are suitable to send to those you choose. The inside of the card reads,

“A Gift of Prayer for You…

A Holy Hour of Adoration has been made for your intentions”.

What a beautiful gift for any occasion: an hour spent before our Eucharistic Lord.

The cards are available on the table at bottom of the steps to the Chapel. If you need the code for the Chapel door, please ask any staff member, or call the Parish Office.

Did you know….. there is a book under the sign-in sheet at the bottom of the Chapel step in the Narthex, that you are invited to write-in your prayer requests to be brought

before the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.

Christian Service Update

Coat Drive: The coat drive ended in the middle of November. We received 37 coats (Men’s, Women’s & Kids), 18 pairs of gloves, no hats, several blankets & comforters. A thank you to our parishioners, Paul and Irene Zawadzki who donated their time to take the items down to the Toledo Rescue Mission. The Rescue Mission was very thankful to receive all the donations to help keep the families warm this winter.

Baby Bottle Campaign: In October we had a baby bottle campaign for Heartbeat of Toledo. Parishioners filled baby bottles with donations of any amount to help with the needs of their mothers and babies. A total amount of $471 was donated to Heartbeat of Toledo. They were very thankful for our generosity.

Thanksgiving Baskets: This year we helped out 10 Veteran families from the Veteran Center in Temperance and parishioners gave us 5 families who also needed help with a holiday dinner. A total of 10 families received a Thanksgiving Basket. We received many donations from our parishioners and the PRE students including cash donations, turkeys, fresh potatoes, and many more food items for their dinners. All the families were very thankful to St. Anthony’s Church for all that they received in their baskets. A thank you to Yavonne Thoma, Anne Herman and her granddaughter, Ruby, and Rose Tussing for putting all the baskets together.

Advent Giving Tree: On our tree we had flag ornaments for gift cards for our veterans with different names of grocery stores, gas stations and restaurants for the veterans to use. The Veteran Center in Temperance had Christmas stockings for each veteran family that the gift cards were put in for them to use. We also helped out 6 families that their names were given to us by our parishioners who really could use our help this holiday season. We gave gifts to the children and we gave extra turkeys & food items that we had left from Thanksgiving to the families for their dinners. A “thank you” to the Knights of Columbus for generously donating a check for purchasing Kroger gift cards for the families. The families were very thankful for their gifts. We were told their children would have not received any gifts for Christmas if it wasn’t for our generosity. Thank you to Yavonne Thoma and Rose Tussing for helping put all the gifts together for the families.

A Special Thank You to the Knights for purchasing and donating 12 children’s coats to the Bedford Veteran Center in Temperance. The Center was overjoyed receiving the coats for their families!

January Baby Shower: We had a baby shower for Heartbeat of Monroe which ended on February 3. We received may baby outfits, handmade blankets, diapers, wipes and many, many more baby items. Thank you to Steve Miller for volunteering to take our donations to Heartbeat of Monroe.

God Bless, Linda Sloan Christian Service

Winter Prayer Lord, In the midst of Winter,

When the days are cold and wind can pierce,

Remind us of the warmth of your love.

When days are short, dawn comes late,

and dusk arrives early, remind us that in the darkness

your light still shines.

When the flowers of spring still lie hidden in the earth,

when leaves are off the trees, and the world can seem bleak,

remind us that Easter is but a short time away.

(submitted by a Parishioner)

The Power of Prayer

Someone has said that if Christians

really understood the full extent of

the power we have available through

prayer, we might be speechless.

During WWII there was an advisor

to Churchill who organized a group

of people who dropped what they

were doing every day at a prescribed

hour for one minute to collectively

pray for the safety of England, its

people and peace.

There is now a group of people

organizing the same thing here in

America. If you would like to

participate: every evening at 9:00pm

Eastern Time (8:00pm Central,

7:00pm Mountain, 6:00pm Pacific),

stop whatever you are doing and

spend one minute praying for the

safety of the United Sates and for a

return to a Godly nation. If you

know anyone else who would like to

participate, please pass this along.

Our prayers are the most powerful

asset we have.

God Bless America!!
