Events
​
Divine Mercy Sunday is April 28th.  Our cluster will celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday at 2:00 pm (with a luncheon to follow) at Immaculate Conception Church in Butternut.
 
Holy Land Good Friday Collection- April 19th:  Pope Francis has asked our parish to support the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, which helps Christians in the Holy Land.  Your support helps the church minister in parishes, provide Catholic schools and offer religious education.  The Pontifical Good Friday Collection also helps to preserve the sacred shrines.
   The wars, unrest and instability have been especially hard on Christians.  In these times of crisis, the Pontifical Good Friday Collection provides humanitarian aid to refugees.
   When you contribute, you become an instrument of peace and join with Catholics around the world in solidarity with the Church in the Holy Land.
 
2nd Collection-April 28th-Catholic Home Mission
Catholic Home Mission describes a Diocese like ours that has few resources available to provide basic pastoral services without outside help.  Mission dioceses often struggle with isolation and a lack of available pastoral and lay leadership.  Here in northern Wisconsin, the country churches you might see in small towns with no resident priest are home missions. 
   With your support we can provide catechesis, lay leadership training, seminarian education funding, and other essential pastoral outreach in home mission dioceses.  Please consider supporting the Appeal this year.  Thank you.

Operation Rice Bowl:  ENCOUNTER THE RISEN CHRIST
We prayed, fasted and gave alms - and now we celebrate Easter joy!  Our Lenten journey with CRS Rice Bowl challenges us as we encounter our Risen Lord to bring the hope of Resurrection to a world in need.  Don't forget to turn in your CRS Rice Bowl either during Mass or at the parish office.   

Contribution Statements:  Please let the office know if you would like your statement mailed.

The Community Church Choir Concert will be at 4:30 pm on Sunday, April 28th, with a reception will follow in the Padua Center.

Catholic Services Appeal

Thank you to those who have given to the Catholic Services Appeal so far! For those who have not given yet, please consider doing so. No gift is too small, and our parish is trying to reach 100% participation.  This program helps alleviate some of the issues that face the diocese today, such as the shortage of priests. The responsibility our parishes have to help provide diocesan services and ministries such as support for vocations and the education of seminarians is an answer to that challenge. Please see page 4 under “Sharing Our Treasures” to view our cluster parishes goals and what we have raised so far.
Online Giving to the CSA provides donors with a secure and easy way to make a gift to the Catholic Services Appeal. Your parish is automatically credited with your gift. Web addresses for each parish’s online giving page for the CSA are provided on page 4 under “Sharing Our Treasures.”

This year’s goals:
St. Anthony’s:                            $24,529
