Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh
of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within
you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and
I will raise him on the last day.

WELCOME
If you are new to St. Anthony of Padua Parish, please know how welcome you are to worship God with us. The motto of our parish is written in Latin over the front entrance: “The hardworking people of St. Anthony have built this Temple to the Lord.” We know that we have been blessed with one of the most beautiful church most people have ever seen and that the Lord demands more of those who have been given more. Our goal is to is allow the Lord to build with us a parish community of “living Stones” even more beautiful than the physical edifice in which we have the awesome privilege to worship Him.

3 VICAR’S MESSAGE
A CALL TO ACTION NOVENA PRAYER FOR OUR CHURCH AND OUR NATION IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE NATIONS COAST TO COAST ROSARY RALLY ON OCTOBER 7. Dear brothers and sisters,
In the last few days and weeks there has been an overwhelming request made by many of our Catholic lay faithful and clergy throughout the nation for a united action of prayer in support for our Church and Nation. The time is now urgent to call upon God, through the powerful intercession of
Our Lady of the Rosary, to heal our country and
Church and return it to holiness.
Everyone from around the nation is encouraged to join ranks and to respond in a united prayerful way. This is a nationwide prayer campaign called the “Novena for Our Nation.” United, we will pray the
very powerful 54 Day Rosary Novena consisting of
27 rosaries of Petition (Just 5 decades each day, with the petition prayer, and Hail Holy Queen prayer, beginning with the Joyful mysteries, and the next day the Sorrowful mysteries, and on 3rd day, the Glorious mysteries and continuing in the same cycle) and then followed by 27 rosaries of thanksgiving, starting from the Feast of the Assumption on August 15 (Wednesday) to the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary on October 7 (Sunday). This Novena of
Rosaries will conclude on the final day (Sunday October 7, 2018) with a public combined parish Rosary procession linked up with the Coast to Coast Rosary procession at a venue to be announced. We continue to live in peace-less times with laws and court rulings in conflict with God's laws; especially the disregard for the rights of the unborn, elderly and weak in our society and the attacks on marriage and family values. Society and many levels
of government continue to demonstrate intolerance towards biblically based religious belief and practice, and consequently persecution of traditional religious expression has reached historically high levels. We are in a Spiritual Battle. We are called upon to help turn our country back towards God. We will accomplish that through prayer; prayer that can change hearts, change families, change our communities and change our country. The 54-day Rosary Novena of our Nation initiative provides an opportunity to respond in a positive manner. There is no stronger weapon in this Spiritual Battle than the Rosary and we have the words of the saints to confirm this:
St. Louis de Montfort once wrote:
“When people say the Rosary together, it is far more formidable to the devil, than one said privately. Because in this public prayer, it is an army that is attacking him. He can often overcome the prayer of an individual, but if this prayer is joined to other Christians, the devil has much more trouble in getting the best of it.”
Pope Blessed Pius IX said: “Give me an army saying the Rosary and I will conquer the World.”
Fr. Stephen Imbarrato, Pastoral staff; Priest for life said: “This 54 Day Novena for our Nation and National Rosary Rally comes at a critical and most serious time of crisis in our country. I cannot think of a more powerful response on the part of Catholics than to pray, fast, and come together for the conversion of our nation.”
Our Parish of St. Anthony of Padua will be reciting the Novena Rosary every day in our Chapel from Wednesday August 15, after the 7am Mass, and
thereafter Monday to Friday at same time. In
addition, we will have a Holy Hour of Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament on Sunday’s during the
54-day Novena from 2.30pm to 3.30pm with the
Novena Rosary and Chaplet of Divine Mercy. Copies of the 54-day Rosary Novena prayer leaflet is available in the Church and Chapel or at the Parish Rectory.
I would encourage you to please join in this national effort of prayer and be part of this wonderful initiative. With and through Mary and the Rosary, Jesus Christ will prevail and win the battle for souls. We will place a smile on the face of Our Lady as we pray for America to encounter Jesus Christ through the rosary.”
May God bless you and reward you. Fr. Brendan

LLAMADO A LA ACCIÓN
LA ORACIÓN NOVENA PARA NUESTRA IGLESIA Y NUESTRA NACIÓN EN COLABORACION CON EL DESFILE DEL ROSARIO COSTA A COSTA PARA EL 7 DE OCTUBRE.
Queridos hermanos y hermanas:
En los últimos días y semanas ha habido una
abrumadora petición hecha por muchos de nuestros fieles y clérigos católicos de toda la nación para una acción conjunta de oración en apoyo de nuestra Iglesia y nuestra nación.
Ahora es el momento de invocar a Dios, por medio de la poderosa intercesión de Nuestra Señora del Rosario, para sanar a nuestro país y devolverlo a la santidad. Esta es una campaña nacional de oración llamada "Novena para Nuestra Nación". Se alienta a todos en la nación a unirse a filas mientras, unidos, rezamos la poderosa Novena del Rosario de 54 días comenzando en la Fiesta de la Asunción el 15 de Agosto hasta la Fiesta de Nuestra Señora del Rosario el 7 de Octubre.
Se alienta a todos los habitantes de todo el país a unirse a filas y responder de manera solidaria. Esta es una campaña nacional de oración llamada "Novena por Nuestra Nación". Unidos, rezaremos la muy poderosa Novena del Rosario de 54 días que consta de 27 rosarios de Petición (Solo 5 décadas cada día, con la oración de petición y la oración dl Dios te Salve Reina y Madre , comenzando con los misterios gozosos, y al día siguiente los misterios dolorosos, y el 3er día, los misterios gloriosos y continuando en el mismo ciclo) y luego seguidos por 27 rosarios de acción de gracias, comenzando en la Fiesta de la Asunción el 15 de agosto ( Miércoles) a la Fiesta de Nuestra Señora del Rosario el 7 de octubre (domingo). Esta Novena de Rosarios concluirá el último día (el domingo 7 de octubre de 2018) con una procesión pública combinada del rosario de la parroquia unida a la procesión Costa-Costa del Rosario en un lugar
que se anunciará. Continuamos viviendo en tiempos de paz y menos con
leyes y sentencias judiciales en conflicto con las leyes de
Dios; especialmente el desprecio por los derechos de los no nacidos, ancianos y débiles en nuestra sociedad y los ataques al matrimonio y a los valores familiares. La sociedad y muchos niveles de gobierno continúan demostrando intolerancia hacia creencias y prácticas religiosas basadas en la Biblia, y consecuentemente la persecución de la expresión religiosa tradicional ha alcanzado niveles históricamente altos. Estamos en una batalla espiritual. Estamos llamados a ayudar a volver a nuestro país hacia Dios. Lo lograremos a través de la oración; oración que puede cambiar los corazones, cambiar familias, cambiar nuestras comunidades y cambiar nuestro país. La iniciativa Novena de Rosario de nuestra Nación, de 54 días, brinda la oportunidad de responder de manera positiva. No hay un arma más poderosa en esta Batalla Espiritual que el Rosario y tenemos las palabras de los santos para confirmar esto: San Luis de Montfort una vez escribió: "Cuando la gente reza el Rosario juntos, produce mucho mas frutos para contra-restar el diablo, de lo que uno hace en privado. Porque en esta oración pública, es un ejército el que lo está atacando. A menudo puede vencer la oración de un individuo, pero si esta oración se une a otros cristianos, el diablo tiene muchos más problemas para obtener lo mejor de ella ".
El Papa Beato Pío IX dijo: "Denme un ejército que diga el Rosario y yo conquistaré el Mundo". El P. Stephen Imbarrato, empleado pastoral; Sacerdote a favor de la vida dijo: "Esta Novena de 54 dias por nuestro Nación y Desfile Nacional del Rosario llega en un momento crítico y muy grave de crisis en nuestro país. No puedo pensar en una respuesta más poderosa por parte de los católicos que orar, ayunar y unirnos para la conversión de nuestra nación ".
Nuestra Parroquia San Antonio de Padua recitará la Novena del Rosario todos los días en nuestra Capilla desde el Miércoles 15 de Agosto, después de la Misa de las 7am, y después de lunes a Viernes a la misma hora. Además, tendremos una Hora Santa de Adoración del Santísimo Sacramento los Domingos durante los 54 días de 2.30 p.m. a 3.30 p.m. Rezaremos el Rosario de la Novena y la Corona de la Divina Misericordia. Copias del folleto de oración del Rosario de 54 días están disponibles en la Iglesia y Capilla o en la Rectoría Parroquial.
Le exhorto a que se una a este esfuerzo nacional de oración y sea parte de esta maravillosa iniciativa. Con y a través de María y el Rosario, Jesucristo prevalecerá y ganará la batalla por las almas. Pondremos una sonrisa en la cara de Nuestra Señora mientras oramos para que los Estados Unidos se encuentre con Jesucristo a través del rosario ".
Que Dios te bendiga y te recompense. P. Brendan
