Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
All the earth shall bow down before you,
O God, and shall sing to you, shall sing to
your name, O Most High!
The Faith Formation Program wants to remind
our Parishioners that the 4th grade will be leading the
Children’s 9:00 am Mass next Sunday, January 25th.
Please support our terrific students with your attendance.
Each 4th grader is participating and we are very proud of
all the children. The class charity is the Marin Pregnancy
Clinic. The Clinic is in need of newborn baby items.
Your donations will be greatly appreciated.
Just around the corner on February 7th will be the
Sacrament of First Reconciliation. Every Candidate is
diligently preparing for the day by practicing their prayers,
understanding the concept of “examination of conscience”
and preparing for the ceremony. It has been a joy working
with our students. Parents, thank you for sharing your
precious children with our staff. We couldn’t be any more
blessed.
To thank our children for their hard work, we are throwing
a pizza party in their honor right after the ceremony for the
students, their families, their Catechists, and our priests.
Each gathering we have for our children fosters community
and relationships. The gathering help to bond the children
as a faith based team through their time at St. Anthony’s.
This bond stays with them all the way through to the
Confirmation Program.
Let us pray for our Candidates throughout this year. The
Prayer Poster with all the Candidates darling pictures will
be up in the church soon. Please say a prayer in support
and love for our Communion Candidates.
Second Collection –There will be a second
collection next weekend for St. Patrick’s Seminary
and the seminarians who attend there. St. Anthony’s has
been very blessed to have parishioners who have attended
St. Patrick’s in recent years and have been ordained to the
priesthood. Next weekend, our parish seminarian, Andrew
Ginter will be speaking at all the Masses to give us an
update on his faith journey and about the Seminary.
This weekend St. Patrick’s Seminary & University is
hosting the annual Discernment Retreat. Please
pray for the men attending the retreat as they discern
to see if God is calling them to the vocation of priest.
Psalm 66:4
Collection Totals:
Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.

Thank you for your generosity to St. Anthony Parish.
Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Fellow Members of Jesus,
Eli and John the Baptist both introduce others
to the Lord God, and Samuel and Andrew in turn
reach out to others. Today we can reach out as they
did and communicate Christ’s message. St. Paul tells
us of his and Jesus’ theology of the body. Our body
is a temple of the Holy Spirit. Too many of us seem
to think of our bodies as our own. Yet whatever we
do, whether we eat or sleep, whether we work or play,
we are to do it in the Lord. As St. Paul says,
“Therefore glorify God in your body.”
~ Fr. White
