From Pastor Father Tom Miller
Abundant Mercy & Grace
Dear Parishioners,
He is Risen!! Alleluia Alleluia, Indeed He is Risen!
We come together on this final day in the octave of Easter to rejoice in God’s abundant mercy revealed to us through the Life, Death & Resurrection of Jesus. That gift of mercy is incarnate in the life of Christ and breathed upon the Church this Easter morning. May the breath of Divine Mercy fill all of us with the life of the Risen Christ and encourage us to grow as disciples.
Many thanks to all who made our Triduum & Easter celebrations so beautiful. It was truly a beautiful Holy Week and a great beginning to this season of joy. As the prayers of the Roman Missal remind us, may we be filled with paschal joy as we recall the great mystery of our Redemption. While the world moves on past Easter, our celebration is just beginning as we celebrate 50 days of joyful gratitude, may we constantly encourage one another to live this season in all its fullness.
Since my appointment here in August I have been aware of and appreciative of the Jonah Prayer Ministry that has been active at St. Anthony’s for many years. My previous assignment, at IHM, had an active Jonah Prayer Team throughout the years that I pastored there. Recently some members of Our Lady, Queen of Peace attended the formation for Jonah Prayer Teams and I look forward to seeing that ministry bear fruit in both parishes.
What is "Jonah Prayer Ministry?"
Jonah Prayer Ministry is a prayer ministry based at the parish level. The goal is for every parish to have Jonah Prayer Ministry or its equivalent. Praying over each other is an excellent way to affirm each other's faith as a community, to let the Holy Spirit heal our hurts and to open our eyes to being thankful for the truth and love in every situation that we experience.
Jonah Prayer Ministers are people like yourself who are approved by the pastor for this ministry. Ministry members feel the call to pray for others or desire to use their spiritual gifts of prayer given to them by the Holy Spirit. After training, Jonah Prayer Ministers pray in small groups with individuals who request prayer support, maintaining confidence in all matters.
Easter joy & peace!
Fr. Tom

Protecting God's Children
The Protecting God's Children program educates and trains adults (clergy, religious, teachers, staff, volunteers, and parents) about the dangers of abuse, the warning signs of abuse, the ways to prevent abuse, the methods of properly reporting suspicions of abuse, and responding to allegations of abuse. Some of our ministries and activities requires participation to complete this program.
Victims of sexual abuse, in addition to contacting civil authorities, are asked to come forward in order to receive pastoral assistance. Report of abuse may be made to any Pastor or to:
