These things happen in families. Children feel “insulted” when they are constantly criticized. Spouses “hunger” for affection. Grandparents feel “excluded” by divorce and custody decisions. Parents “weep” because they feel alienated from their children. *********************************************************************************************** Mass Schedule February 19 Tuesday 6:30 p.m. Mass Weekday ~ {Jim & Jeanette Makley} February 20 Wednesday 8:00 a.m. Mass Weekday ~ {Joe Morman ~ Ben & Mary Morman} February 20 Wednesday 10:30 a.m. Mass Hilty Home ~ {For the Parish} February 21 Thursday 8:00 a.m. Mass Weekday ~ {Rich Ellerbrock ~ Living & Deceased Members of the Gib Smith Family} February 22 Friday 8:00 a.m. Mass The Chair of St. Peter ~ {Deceased Members of the Robert Kohls Family} February 23 Saturday 8:00 a.m. Rosary February 23 Saturday 3:30 – 4:00 p.m. Confessions February 23 Saturday 4:30 p.m. Mass Vigil ~ 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ {Norm Maag ~ David Bunsold ~ Elmer & Audrey Vorst ~ Harold & Josephine Recker} February 24 Sunday 8:30 a.m. Mass 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ {John Schroeder ~ Nathan Siefker ~ Living & Deceased Members of the Leonard Kaufman Family} February 24 Sunday 11:00 a.m. Mass 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ {Mary Ann Halker ~ Clara Moening ~ Lee Edward Halker ~ Steve Morman} February 24 Sunday 6:00 p.m. Mass Life Teen ~ {For the Parish} *********************************************************************************************** Servers February 19 Tuesday 6:30 p.m. Mass Renee Schroeder February 23 Saturday 4:30 p.m. Mass Kara Schmidt, Megan Schmidt, Lauryn Wischmeyer February 24 Sunday 8:30 a.m. Mass Nate Kamphaus, Sarah Kamphaus, Kurt Griffith February 24 Sunday 11:00 a.m. Mass Alyssa Koch, Trent Koch, Tadd Koch *********************************************************************************************** Lectors February 23 Saturday 4:30 p.m. Mass Marge Tabler February 24 Sunday 8:30 a.m. Mass Sarah Schroeder February 24 Sunday 11:00 a.m. Mass Diana Johnson *********************************************************************************************** Eucharistic Ministers February 23 Saturday 4:30 p.m. Mass Norm & Rose Schnipke, Deb Siefker, Ken & Connie Kruse February 24 Sunday 8:30 a.m. Mass Rose Ellerbrock, Doug Langhals, Lisa Langhals, Diana Kaufman, Gib Kaufman February 24 Sunday 11:00 a.m. Mass Pam Hummel, Jennifer Siefker, Cheryl Ellerbrock, Dave & Christie Tabler February Eucharistic Minister Coordinators 4:30 p.m. ~ Pat Birnesser - 931-267-2357 8:30 a.m. ~ Dan Maag - 419-659-2969 11:00 a.m. ~ Pam Hummel February 24 Hilty Home ~ 419-384-3218 ~ Denny Gerding ~ (List can be picked up in the Sacristy) ~ Hilty Home Residents ~ Betty Yant-Room 101; Rita Wenger-Room 116; Mary Margaret Bockrath-Room 119; Bill Alt-Room 121; Ruth Hohenbrink-Room 122; Jim Fischbach-Room 200; Mary Jo Miller-Room 201; Robert Plescher-Room 202; Mary Jo Radabaugh-Room 206A; Jennie Maag-Room 301; Jeanne Schulte-Room 401 ************************************************************************************************* Ushers February 23 Saturday 4:30 p.m. Mass Bonnie Doty, Nick Schroeder, Cody Wagner, Bill Roth February 24 Sunday 8:30 a.m. Mass Jason Koch, Dan Maag, Dave Schroeder, Jr., Adam Siefker February 24 Sunday 11:00 a.m. Mass Al Schroeder, Dale Schroeder, Alan Stover, Dave Moore Greeters Schedule February 23 Saturday 4:30 p.m. Mass M ~Pat Birnesser J ~ Mary Schmidt S ~ Jay & Sheryl Wischmeyer February 24 Sunday 8:30 a.m. Mass M ~ Dan Maag J ~ Laura Myerholtz S ~ Greg & Sharon Kamphaus February 24 Sunday 11:00 a.m. Mass M ~ Dale & Vicky Schroeder J ~ Lori Schroeder S ~ Alan & Arlene Stover ************************************************************************************************ Parish Activities For The Week of February 10th February 18 4-H Meeting @ 6:00 p.m. (Sycamore St. End) Sunday Adult ~ 216 $ 7,750.50 February 18 Altaration @ 7:00 p.m. (Parking Lot End) Children's ~ 37 49.20 February 19 K of C Meeting ~ Rosary at 7:40 p.m. 7,799.70 February 20 Finance Committee Meeting @ 6:00 p.m. Other Income 3,816.04 February 21 Baptism Classes @ 7:00 p.m. Total Income $ 11,615.74 February 22 Hot Lunch February 23 That Man Is You @ 6:00 a.m. Total Expenses $ 28,197.93 February 24 Life Teen Mass @ 6:00 p.m. *********************************************************************************************** The St. Anthony Parish family extends our sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Jean Stechschulte who died on Monday, February 11th.

May our prayers and the grace of God see you through this very difficult time. *********************************************************************************************** "Saint of the Week" St. Polycarp (69-156), Patron Saint of Earaches, Feast day is February 23rd. Imagine being able to sit at the feet of the apostles and hear their stories of life with Jesus from their own lips and walking with those who had walked with Jesus, seen him, and touched him. Polycarp did this as a disciple of St. John the Evangelist. Being part of the second generation of Church leaders had challenges that the first generation could not teach about. With the apostles gone, heresies sprang up pretending to be true teaching, persecution was strong, and controversies arose over how to celebrate liturgy that Jesus never laid down rules for. Polycarp, as a holy man and bishop of Smyrna, found there was only one answer - to be true to the life of Jesus and imitate that life. His own church admired him for following the "gospel model" - not chasing after martyrdom as some did, but avoiding it until it was God's will as Jesus did, considering it "a sign of love to desire not to save oneself alone, but to save also all the Christian brothers and sisters." The fire was lit as Polycarp said "Amen" and then the eyewitnesses who reported said they saw a miracle. The fire burst up in an arch around Polycarp and instead of being burned he seemed to glow like bread baking, or gold being melted in a furnace. When the captors saw he wasn't being burned, they stabbed him. His quote: "Hear me declare with boldness, I am a Christian." *********************************************************************************************** Parish Office Closed ~ The parish office will be closed, Monday, February 18th in observance of Presidents’ Day.
