For April 10--11, 2010 A Family Perspective by Bud Ozar
A peaceful home is purchased with the currency of forgiveness.
If we don’t forgive each other, we not only lock out another
person, we lock out peace. If you want peace you must forgive.
Peace is the result, forgiveness the source. Where are there
“closed doors” in your family? Who have you “locked out?”
Project Rice Bowl
Even though our Lenten journey is over, our solidarity with the
poor needs to continue all year long. Visit crs.org to stay
connected with the Church’s work on behalf of those in need
around the world. Please turn in Operation Rice Bowls.
St. Elizabeth Guild will be sponsoring the St. Anthony’s
annual Baby Shower to benefit our local Pregnancy Resource
Center throughout the Lenten season. A collection site is
located in the foyer and parishioners are invited to bring in
baby items any time from Ash Wednesday through Easter.
These items will then be donated to expectant and new moms
facing crisis who are in need of our loving care and support
during the first few months of their babies lives. All donations
including toiletries, diapers, baby clothes, toys, car seats or
even maternity clothes, etc., either new or gently used are
appreciated and welcomed. Financial donations are also
welcome; please place in an envelope, addressed to
“St. Elizabeth Guild – Baby Shower” and drop into the
collection basket. A Baby Shower Celebration to donate our
gifts to the PRC will be held during the St. Elizabeth Guild
meeting on Tuesday, April 20th in the Parish Hall from 6:30 PM
(details to follow later), all are welcome!
Holy Name Society meeting is the second Wednesday of every
month. 6:30 PM at Saint Anthony’s.
Mission Activities Flea Market
Many, many thanks and appreciation to all who made our flea
market a success. To the men who moved and set up tables. We
could not have had the sale without their help. They are
priceless! To parishioners who donated items to sell. To the
ladies who worked all week setting up, pricing and selling on
Saturday. A profit of $907.45 was made and will be used to
help feed, cloth and shelter the needy in our community as well
as other needs that come before us. Left-over items were
donated to Mannington Food Pantry where they are given
free-of-charge to clients.
Working together we make good things happen and give all the
Glory to God!

Vacation: I will be away on vacation from April 5-14. I have
learned from experience that I need a vacation after Easter and
in particular this year more than most with the extra
assignments that I have undertaken. I will pray for all of you
when I am away! - Fr. John
Homebound Visitation: Weekly homebound visitation will
resume when I return from vacation. This has been a busy three
months for me. It seems that every time I went to step one foot
outside the office, the phone rang with more work for me to do.
Please do realize that until quite recently, three priests were
assigned to do the work that I myself am presently doing. With
Lent behind us, this should free up enough time that I will be
able to do some of the things that I used to do and would rather
do.—Fr. John
