Blessings

 

"HEAVENLY FATHER, SHOW US WHAT YOU ARE BLESSING"

 

St. Anthony's Parish seeks to bring the Presence of God into the world.  Through activities, programmes and organizations the Holy Spirit moves us along.  As we pray in our "Prayer for St. Anthony's Parish"... We do not ask You to bless what we are doing, but to show us what You are blessing."
 

The following blessings are happening in our midst.  In what way would you like to share your talents and God-given gifts to help bring God's presence into the world?   These are in no particular order... all are blessings!  This list is by no means complete... What can you add to the list of blessings the Holy Spirit helps you to see in our Parish?

In the words of Saint Anthony:


Actions speak louder than words; let your words teach and your actions speak...It is useless for a person to flaunt the law if their actions undermine it."
