You must know that when you 'hail' Mary, she immediately greets you! Don't think that she is one of those rude women of whom there are so many—on the contrary, she is utterly courteous and pleasant. If you greet her, she will answer you right away and converse with you! ∼ Bernardino of Siena

Among the seven sacraments, the Anointing of the Sick is especially intended to strengthen those who are ill. While the Sacrament serves to comfort the dying, it is not only for those at the point of death. It is also intended to help the chronically ill and the elderly who are in a weakened condition. Children who are seriously ill or facing major surgery can be anointed. The sacrament can be administered more than once even during the same illness if a person’s condition becomes more serious. Don't wait until your loved one is on the point of death. Give them the gift of this strengthening sacrament!

Our own St. Anthony Church has been designated as a Diocesan Pilgrimage Church. As such, there will be events over the course of this year that involve our church as a source for special prayer and indulgences.

For February--the sick and homebound. The sufferings of the sick, at home or in the hospital…can be allayed by the closeness and affection of those who visit them, and those who care for them. WE must be grateful for their care and concern for the sick and the most vulnerable. Please keep the sick, the homebound, and healthcare workers in your prayers.
