PAGINA 2 TWENTY-FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME STAFF - PARISH INFORMATION St. Anthony of Padua Staff (559) 439-0124 WELCOME TO ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA We are glad and grateful to have new parishioners celebrate with us. Pastor: Rev. Msgr. Rob D. Wenzinger ext. 104 [email protected] If you would like to join our St. Anthony of Padua community, Parochial Vicar: please fill registration form on page #10 or visit our web page Fr. Regino Rosero Quijano www.stanthonyfresno.org to register. Thanks for Joining Us! Fr. Ferdinand Udeolisa Parish Deacons Deacon Edward C. Valdez FIRST IS BEST? Parish Sisters "I'm first!" "No, I'm first!" Sister, Flor Azevedo, FHIC ext. 107 "Mom, tell Ronnie that I get Sister, Manuela Vazquez, MCSTNJ ext. 122 to be first this time!" From Support Staff the earliest moments of our Parish Administrator: Chris Shiveley ext .103 lives, there is something [email protected] ingrained in us that is Parish Secretary: Aida Bolton ext .109 convinced that first is best. If [email protected] not chosen first for the sports Accts. Receivable: Lilli Angela Antonio ext. 110 [email protected] team, we are immediately Bookkeeper: Sherry Otero ext. 108 deflated. We are coached to [email protected] be "in first." We spend hours Baptisms & Funerals: Teri Loera ext. 102 of waiting time in order to be [email protected] first in line. We are caught in Marriage Coordinator: Deanna Driscoll ext. 118 a culture that makes being [email protected] first the highest priority. Against this backdrop, we come to church and Parish Ministries Secretary & Sick and Homebound: Norma Jean Liscano: ext. 105 hear a Gospel such as the one proclaimed today from Mark: "If anyone [email protected] wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all" (Mark Music Ministry 9:35). This is a passage all about power. BEING POWERFUL David Sarkisian ext. 123 Putting others first is one of the greatest challenges in a world that [email protected] places so much emphasis on being powerful. Americans, for the most Religious Education & Sacraments part, pride themselves on being a "super-power." Power, in and of itself, Children's Religious Education - GIFT Mary Socorro Briseño ext. 113 is not the problem. What can become problematic is the way that power [email protected] is used. Our example of the perfect use of power, of course, is the Lord Religious Education Assistant: Jesus himself. Fully human and fully divine, the Lord put all the power Sandra Neil ext. 115 that had been given to him at the service of others. Unfortunately, when [email protected] one hears comments such as "he is a very powerful man" or "it is a very High School Sacraments - LIFETEEN powerful country," one usually thinks of people or countries that use Sharon Christison ext. 117 [email protected] power to place themselves above apparently weaker people or places. Youth Group Assistant: Michelle Porras The Gospel is a challenge to turn this notion on its head. We have each [email protected] been given much power-the power flowing from Christ-in our baptism. Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) Today we are called to use this power to place the needs of others & Sunday Pre-School before our own. Copyright (c) 2005, World Library Publications.
