Honoring the most recent directives from the diocese of Austin and considering our
pastoral situations there are some minor changes to the schedules and locations for the celebration of the Sacraments Reconciliation and the Holy Mass, starting from Tuesday, June 30, 2020.

(Those who are sick, 65 or older, those who have been advised by health care workers or caregivers to not to be exposed to the public, and those who sincerely believe that attending Mass will jeopardize their health or the health of a person with whom they reside are encouraged to attend weekday Masses, or they may remain at home towatch a live stream of Mass.)

Thursdays: 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Blessed Sacrament.  I love You above  all thing , and I desire to receive You into my soul.  Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I
embrace You as if You  were  already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated  from You.   Amen.

Jesus Christ, / you traveled through towns and villages /"curing every disease and illness." At your command, the sick were made well. Come to our aid now,/ in the midst of the global spread of the coronavirus, / that we may experience your healing love.

Heal those who are sick with the virus. May they regain their strength and health/ through quality medical care.  Heal us from our fear, /which prevents nations from working together/ and neighbors from helping one another. Heal us from our pride,/ which can make us claim invulnerability/ to a disease that knows no borders.

Jesus Christ, healer of all, /stay by our side in this time of uncertainty and sorrow.
Be with those who have died from the virus. May they be at rest with you in your eternal peace. Be with the families of those who are sick or have died. As they
worry and grieve, /defend them from illness and despair. May they know your peace.

Be with the doctors, nurses, researchers /and all medical professionals who seek to heal / and help those affected / and who put themselves at risk in the process. May they know  your  protection  and peace.

Be with the leaders of all nations. Give them the foresight to act/with charity and true concern/ for the well-being of the people they are meant to serve. Give them the wisdom to invest in long­ term solutions / that will help prepare for or prevent future outbreaks. May they know your peace,/ as they work together to achieve it on earth.

Whether we are home or abroad, / surrounded by many people suffering from this illness or only a few, / Jesus Christ, / stay with us as we endure and mourn, /persist and prepare. In place of our anxiety, give us your peace. Jesus Christ, heal us. Amen!

Holy Mass location and live streaming changes starting the weekend of June 13/14 and valid until 6/30/2020.

To better accommodate the faithful, beginning the weekend of June 13 and 14, we will modify the 
Mass location and the Livestreaming schedule. Sunday 10:00 a.m. Mass is the most attended one, and 
if that is celebrated at the Center we may be better able to accommodate the whole group at the Center.

So, here are the changes:

Saturdays at 5:00 p.m.: Mass at the Msgr. Malinowski Center

Sundays at 8:00 a.m.: Mass in the Main Church (which will be live streamed)

Sundays at 10:00 a.m: Mass at the Msgr.
Malinowski Center

Compassionate and Loving Father,

In the face of confusion and concer, impart to us the calm of Your presence.  In You allow us to find hope and healing.  Be with those who serve the sick and give them Your caring hands.  Be with those who lead and give them Your spirit of wisdom.  Be with those who have fallen ill and give them Your comforting heart.  Wrap Your arms around our world and hold us in Your love.  Allow us at this time of trial to then serve as instrumetns of that love to all we meet.  We ask this in Your Name.  Amen.

We are in search of old photos of St. Anthony’s Church in the years before the fire.  If you or someone you know has any photos from that time, please bring them by the church office.  We will scan them & hand them right back to you.  The scan only takes a couple of minutes.  Thank you for helping to preserve the history of the church.

Come by the Church Office and take a look at our “Gift Shop”. There are items for the whole family.

We have Rosaries, Crucifixes, Bibles for children and adults, beautiful jewelry, Holy Water bottles and a lot more.
 

The facilities of St. Anthony's Church must be reserved in advance to prevent double booking. This includes the church, the Malinowski Center and rooms in the multi-purpose building. These are used for a variety of functions as part of the Parish and must be reserved ahead of time for any event or meeting and also for setting up before a meeting, decorating or using the kitchen. It is also rented to outside sources for different events during the week and weekends. Please prevent embarrassing double booking by calling the office to make sure the space is available at 979-823-8145. Thank you.
