Mission Statement of St. Anthony Church
We are a Catholic community of faith in the Jesuit tradition gathered around Jesus Christ and centered in the
Eucharist. In a diverse and changing world we struggle to grow in our relationship with God and with one another.
Through our worship, our ministries and our promotion of peace and justice, we walk with Jesus of the Gospel who
reveals God’s love for all.
Scripture Reflection
Moses told the people, “A prophet like me will the
Lord, your God, raise up for you from among
your own kinsmen.” God still provides among His
people the gifts and talents necessary to continue the work of His Church. What gifts are yours
to share?
We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish who set time aside with the Sunday Readings
throughout the week so as to be better prepared to
hear the Word of God and act on it.
BAPTISM CLASS
Parents planning the baptism of their
children are reminded that the next
baptism class will be
Parish Revenue Sharing with
Oceanside Christopher Credit Union
Earlier this week we received our quarterly revenue sharing check from the Oceanside Christopher Federal Credit
Union Parish Revenue Sharing Program. Since this program
began, our parish has received a total of $14,116!
The amount we receive each quarter is determined by the
number of our parishioners who are members of the credit
union and their usage of the Oceanside Christopher VISA
Credit and/or Debit Card. So, we want to specially thank
each of you—your credit card usage benefits our parish
and that’s great. For those of you who are not yet members, we encourage you to consider joining and getting a
credit card. Your usage of that card will help us.
For more information visit
www.thecatholiccreditunion.org or call (516) 620-8100.
The credit union has branches in Oceanside and Seaford.
Wednesday, February 4th,
at 7:00 PM in Room 101
of the parish center.
St. Vincent de Paul Society
Catholic parents are required to attend;
godparents are welcome to attend.
In the Gospel today we read that because
Jesus spoke with authority his reputation
spread throughout the surrounding region
of Galilee. As his disciples, we can also
speak with authority when we put our
faith into actions by helping the poor and
suffering.
Have you considered answering the call to
serve the poor by joining the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul?
Application for the child’s baptism must be made
personally by calling the parish office to make an
appointment before the actual day of the instruction.

World Day for Consecrated Life
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
Pope Francis has declared 2015 as the Year of Consecrated Life in the Universal Church.
We give thanks and honor the women and men in consecrated life who have served and are serving here in our great Diocese of Rockville Centre.
The life of this local Church has been blessed through the mission and ministry of these
dedicated women and men who are responding to God’s call to each of them to follow Jesus as
vowed religious. As religious, their commitment to a life of prayer, lived in community and expressed through their ministry in the Church, witnesses to their response to God’s love for them.
Their vowed commitment to God and service to the Church is a gift for all of us.
As we move through this Year of Consecrated Life I invite each of you to take whatever opportunities are presented to say “thanks” to the religious who are here in our Diocese, to remember
them in your prayers and to pray that other generous young people respond to God’s call to join
them as religious sisters, brothers and priests.
I join my prayers with yours in thanksgiving for their lives of prayer and service and in petition that God will bless each of the religious who are part of our Diocese with gifts of grace, hope
and peace as they witness to God’s great love. I ask Mary, Mother of the Church, to continue to
inspire each of them as they live a life of “Yes” to God’s call.
Faithfully yours in Christ,
Bishop of Rockville Centre
