(This is the abbrevitaed form of the prayer we were doing at the end of the Mass.  Hereafter, we will use this shorter version.)

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.

Jesus Christ, heal those who are sick with the virus.  May they regain their strength and health through quality medical care.  Be with those who have died from the virus.  May they be at rest wth 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.

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!

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.

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 instruments 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.
