From Our Pastor

Dear friends of St. Anthony's, I wanted to thank you for being a part of our growing parish community. At the First Mass of the year, I proposed a motto to live by: live for heaven. This is our guiding principle at St. Anthony's. I hope that this is something we will all strive for.

As we move forward, we do not forget to look back. I am honored to have blessed a memorial in our garden in honor of those who served our country in Vietnam. I am thankful for Mr. Les Sherwood for helping us remember the heroes from our parish. Mr. Sherwood, Ms. Maria Rivera, and Mr. Felix Hidalgo were honored at our annual volunteers' Christmas luncheon for their various contributions to our parish.

As our parish continues to grow — our catechism program is at its biggest yet! — I hope you will continue to join us on our journey. God bless you and God bless the whole world, no exceptions! — Rev. Fr. Louis Anderson
