Bless You: Saint Anthony Parish wants to thank those parishioners who have been ‘catching up’ on their offertory envelopes. Our parish is truly blessed to have so many generous, caring folks who continue to support us with their donations. We also understand that many of you have, and continue to experience financial hardship. We know that you are praying for us and with us, and we are praying for you. Only through prayer and trust in the Lord will we get through this together. Confessions: Due to the confined space of the confessional at St. Anthony Church, the Sacrament of Reconciliation continues to be offered by appointment only. Please call Fr. Rick if you wish to make an appointment. Let us pray for one another and for all those impacted in any way by the Covid-19 pandemic. Message from Fr. Rick: Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time “Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” Our Lord’s words might well raise the question what belongs to Caesar and what belongs to God? Well, in one sense of course it all belongs to God, that said it also must be said that there are those things in any human society that are directly under the concern and authority of the State and there are things likewise that are specifically in the special competence of the Church. The Church recognizes the principle of prudential judgement. There are issues about which people of good will can and do legitimately disagree. These issues (the proper role of government in the arena of health care for example) are in a representative Democracy like the U.S., “hashed out” if you will through vigorous debate. People offering various perspectives on the issues of the day. Then there are other issues concerning, for example recognizing the right to life of the unborn, the elderly, the handicapped and the dying, these issues because they represent a clear, direct threat to the most fundamental right of all: The right to life requires a robust defense of this most precious right. And equally robust rejection of any threat to that right. This election year as in any other Catholics have a serious obligation before God to know their faith and to cast their votes in such a way as to uphold that faith. Fr. Rick Parish Office: Any phone or e-mail messages left at the parish office this weekend through Monday, October 19th will be answered on Tuesday. For emergencies, please call Fr. Rick in Windsor at (802) 674-2157. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Please Do Your Part: We are doing our best to keep conditions in the church safe for all who attend. Please sit only where pew seats are marked. If someone else is in that row and a six-foot distance cannot be maintained, please look for another seat. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation. Second Collection: Today is World Mission Sunday. We celebrate this day by remembering the revitalizing mission at the heart of our Christian faith - to bring the Gospel to all! The national second collection today for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith ensures the work and service of the Mission Church as it supports priests, religious and lay leaders who offer the Lord’s mercy and concrete help to the most vulnerable communities in the Pope’s missions. Your offerings may be dropped into the basket as you leave the church today or mailed to the parish office. Please make checks payable to St. Anthony Church. PINS Christmas Gift Tree: Saint Anthony parishioners have supported the annual PINS Christmas gift program sponsored by the Department for Children and Families for many years. Linda James, who is a Policy & Operations Manager in the Family Services Division of DCF and also a longtime member of our parish, has coordinated this effort for the entire time our parish has been involved. Our parishioners have enjoyed participating in this annual event and have been very generous. Due to concerns raised by the current pandemic, we will not have the traditional tree with tags this year. We would still like to support this program that provides local children in foster care with a nice gift for Christmas. If you would like to make a donation that will provide a gift, volunteers from DCF will shop for and deliver the gifts in time for Christmas. Donation checks are to be made payable to Linda James. Please note on the memo line of the check PINS gift and send it to her at 46 Woodlawn Drive, White River Jct. VT 05001.

The box is being sanitized and is replenished as needed. Second Collection Next Weekend: The Priest Benefit Fund works to support our priests throughout their ministry, but especially seeks to provide senior and disabled priests with sufficient financial means to lead a prayerful and dignified life. This fund was established as a means to care for the ill and aged priests with healthcare needs, and support a pension program and health coverage. Offerings may be mailed to the parish office or dropped in the basket as you leave the church next week. Please make checks payable to St. Anthony Church.

    A Name Identifies You in a Unique Way, Not Just Your Physical Self, but Who You Are As Person

    CHOOSING A CONFIRMATION NAME. A name identifies you in a unique way, not just your physical self, but who you are as person. One of the traditional practices in the Church at the time of Confirmation is choosing a name that will remind you of this sacrament. Your prayerful reflection will help you determine that name. You might want to recommit yourself to your baptismal name since it expresses the relationship that exist between these two sacraments, especially after you reflect on its meaning and discover some of the people who shared your name in Christian history. You might want to choose the name of a saint who represents the type of Cristian you wish to be. It is important to learn as much as you can about your patron saint. After all, you are asking this saint to be your friend and advocate for the rest of your life. Whether you decide to stay with your baptismal name or pick a new name, take the time to research and explore the root meaning of the name, for as Scripture says: “Yahweh calls each of us by name”. One of the most beautiful parts of your journey towards confirmation is choosing a patron saint, one of the great saints of our Church whose life in Christ is one that inspires you and calls you to be an ardent and radiant catholic. The saint are not just people who lived long ago! Moreover, they are alive in heaven now, totally present in our lives through God’s grace and their prayers.
  • The Autobiography of St. Anthony Mary Claret

    The Autobiography of St. Anthony Mary Claret

    Saint Anthony Mary Claret AUTOBIOGRAPHY Edited by JOSÉ MARIA VIÑAS, CMF Director Studium Claretianum Rome Forward by ALFRED ESPOSITO, CMF Claretian Publications Chicago, 1976 FOREWORD The General Prefecture for Religious Life has for some time wanted to bring out a pocket edition of the Autobiography of St. Anthony Mary Claret to enable all Claretians to enjoy the benefit of personal contact with the most authentic source of our charism and spirit. Without discounting the value of consulting other editions, it was felt there was a real need to make this basic text fully available to all Claretians. The need seemed all the more pressing in view of the assessment of the General Chapter of 1973: "Although, on the one hand, the essential elements and rationale of our charism are sufficiently explicit and well defined in the declarations 'On the Charism of our Founder' and 'On the Spiritual Heritage of the Congregation' (1967), on the other hand, they do not seem to have been sufficiently assimilated personally or communitarily, or fully integrated into our life" (cf. RL, 7, a and b). Our Claretian family's inner need to become vitally aware of its own charism is a matter that concerns the whole Church. Pope Paul's motu proprio "Ecclesiae Sanctae" prescribes that "for the betterment of the Church itself, religious institutes should strive to achieve an authentic understanding of their original spirit, so that adhering to it faithfully in their decisions for adaptation, religious life may be purified of elements that are foreign to it and freed from whatever is outdated" (II, 16, 3).

Claret speaks of hisA companions as those who have received the same spirit that encouraged him (cf. Aut 489). We are Claretians because we have also received that same spirit to proclaim the Gospel today. A closer contact with our Founder and with the history of the Congregation will help us fan the flames of our missionary spirit and find urgent, timely and effective ways to carry out our mission in the times in which we are living. Fidelity to our roots and openness to new realities, demand a fruitful relationship with the elder Claretians who walked before us. Pope Francis, addressing consecrated men and women, reminded us of the importance of this mutual relationship: For if the young are called to open new doors, the elderly hold the keys. An institute remains youthful by going back to its roots, by listening to its older members.

    Biography of S. Anthony Mary Claret

    Biography of S. Anthony Mary Claret Childhood St. Anthony Mary Claret was born in Catalonia, the northeastern corner of Spain, in a town called Sallent on December 23, 1807. He was the fifth son of Juan Claret and Josefa Clará's eleven children. His father owned a small textile factory, but was not rich. Anthony grew up in a Christian environment, and at a very early age had a strong sense of the eternal life that Christ wanted all men and women to enjoy. He wanted to spare sinners eternal unhappiness, and felt moved to work for their salvation. When he was about eleven years old, a bishop visited his school and asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. Without hesitation he responded: "A priest." Weaver As soon as Anthony was old enough, he began working as an apprentice weaver. When he turned 17, his father sent him to Barcelona to study the latest techniques in textile manufacturing and to work in the large textile mills. He did so well in the textile design school that he began receiving offers from large textile companies. Even though he had the talent to succeed, he turned down the offers and returned home after experiencing the emptiness of worldly achievements. Vocation The words of the Gospel kept resounding in his heart: "what good is it for man to win the world if he loses his soul?" He began to study Latin to prepare to enter the Seminary. He wanted to be a Carthusian Monk. His father was ready to accept the will of God, but preferred to see him become a diocesan priest.
  • Must Catholics Pray the Rosary?

    Must Catholics Pray the Rosary?

    The Our Father and the Hail Mary flow from the Gospels. Jesus said, “This is how you are to pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be with James & John done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today Must Catholics Pray the Rosary? our daily bread…’” Mt 6:9-13 The angel Gabriel said to Mary, “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!” Lk 1:28 “When Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; Know This… and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and she exclaimed with a Devotion is the disposition, attitude, and action of loud cry, ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your the will to give honor and praise to God. Prayer is womb!’” Lk 1:41-42 an acknowledgement of God’s presence and man’s dependence on Him. Sincere prayer draws the believer into a deeper relationship with Jesus and leads him to “The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, holiness. The Mass is the ultimate devotion and prayer and his ears are open to their prayer.” 1 Pet 3:12 “The Rosary is a magnificent for Catholics. Catholics must participate in Mass on and universal prayer for the needs of the Church, the Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation. The Rosary is also nations, and the entire world.” Blessed Pope John Paul II “The Rosary is devotion and prayer; but unlike the Mass, a Catholic is the compendium of the entire Gospel.” Pope Pius XII “The Rosary not required to pray the Rosary.

    10-24 Saint Anthony Claret

    Anthony Claret was ordained a priest in 1835. In the early years of his ministry, he had a generous heart for the poor that never left him. Serving with humility, his superiors recognized his abilities and assigned him in missionary work throughout Catalonia. From 1843-47 when he wasn’t busy in his home parish, he traveled on foot throughout Catalonia, preaching constantly and distributing books and leaflets he had written to explain the faith. In 1848, he was assigned to the Canary Islands off the Northwest coast of Africa. Although he was there for only 15 months, the work he did is still remembered to this day. i ii In 1849 he returned to Catalonia and established the Congregation of the Missionary Sons of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (16 July 1849). The order is often known for its founder as Claretians. These Sons of the Immaculate Heart of Mary are men on fire with the love of God. As missionaries, they strive by all means possible to set everyone on fire with God’s love. They live an austere life, readily accepting privations, welcoming work, and embracing sacrifice. When confronted with ill will, they return smiles. When tormented they rejoice and readily accept their suffering. They strive to follow the way of Jesus in all things and imitate him in praying and working for the greater glory of God and the salvation of souls.iii Anthony Claret was appointed as Archbishop of Santiago, Cuba and arrived there in February of 1851. He worked tirelessly to reform the clergy, create new parishes, set up credit unions, and evangelize through the entire diocese.

This calendar is used by authors of ordines and other liturgical aids published to foster the celebration of the liturgy in our country. The calendar is based upon the General Roman Calendar, promulgated by Pope Paul VI on February 14, 1969, subsequently amended by the Holy See, and the Proper Calendar for the Dioceses of the United States of America, approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.1 This calendar has been updated to reflect the names and titles of the various liturgical
