Bishop Barron's "Catholicism"

Join us again this summer as we watch and discuss Bishop Barron's last five videos in his "Catholicism" series. We had a great time last year and look forward to spending time with old and new friends as we discover more about the beauty of our faith. It is important to be able to give a reason as to why we're Catholic - and to nurture our hearts and souls, as well!

Didn’t come last year – or can’t come to all of the movie nights this summer? No worries! Each video is enjoyable, interesting and stands alone independent of the others.

* FIVE Thursdays: July 11, 18, 25 and August 1, 8.
* 5:30pm-8pm in the Malinowski Center
* Dinner included!
* All families and all ages are invited (we hope to arrange babysitting, but also will have movies set up for kiddos in the SAY room right next to us)

"A Body both Suffering and Glorious" will be shown July 11.

You need not have attended last year, nor attend every one this summer.

St. Anthony Parish is participating in Encountering Christ, a capital and endowment campaign to benefit important ministries in the Diocese of Austin and its parishes, including St. Anthony.  We join with faithful from 123 parishes and missions who are also pledging their commitment to ensure the Catholic Church in Central Texas remains strong and vibrant for generations to come.

Our parish exists and has thrived since 1896 because of the generosity of many.  Our parishioners have always worked together to meet needs that arise.  

Our parish, St. Anthony,  will also benefit from the Encountering Christ campaign.  Our goal is $725,000, of which $217,500 will remain at our parish to provide repairs to the main church, expand the pavilion, repair the stained glass windows in the main church as well as much needed repairs to the San Salvador Mission.  

Encountering Christ is an opportunity to live out our call to serve a disciples of Christ  and fulfill the vision of the Diocesan Pastoral Plan and share in:

• Supporting Our Clergy
• Strengthening Parishes
• Emerging Disciples
• Embracing Discipleship
