St. Anthony’s Parish is a Catholic Faith community rich in cultural diversity with a strong flavor of identity.
Our mission is to foster a strong spir-itual growth of life and faith in our fami-lies, community and society by sharing the gift of our time, treasures and tal-ents.
We hope to do this with a Spirit of Christian generosity that brings us closer to the blessing of unity, peace and reconciliation.
Like St. Anthony called to love and to serve - we try our best in following Christ on the road of this world using God-given gifts for his glory and for the good of our brothers and sisters.

Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 31/16
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
We can overcome the tempta on
to greed by helping those who are
less fortunate than ourselves. What
is given to others is not lost but is
transformed into a treasure for
eternity. In the evening of life we
will be measured by the good we
have done. Rather than wrap
money around our hearts, we are
urged to give and share our bless‐
ings with others in need . In the light of what Jesus says, each of
us has some hard thinking to do about our a tude towards pos‐
sessions. God is at the end of the line wai ng for us when life is
over.

XVIII Domenica del Tempo Ordinario / C
Il nostro mondo suscita molte volte bisogni fasulli per colmare il desider‐io di assoluto che scaturisce dal nos‐tro cuore e che Dio solo può col‐mare. Un po' di intelligenza, allora, ci può aiutare a ricordarci che siamo pellegrini, che la ricchezza ci può ingannare, e che chi ha avuto dalla Provvidenza un po' di fortuna eco‐nomica, è per accumulare tesori in
cielo aiutando i fratelli più poveri e in opere di bene. La Parola di propone un grande esame di coscienza colle vo, senza farci inu li sensi di colpa, proponendoci la semplicita' nel ges re le cose della terra, assoluta corre ezza per chi, nelle comunità, deve ges re il denaro a servizio dell'annuncio del Regno. Abbiamo nel vangelo di oggi un invito ad andare all'essenziale, come il Signore ci chiede, lasciamo che siano le cose importan a guidare la nostra vita, le nostre scelte. Non di soldi, ma di ben altre ricchezze ha bisogno il nostro cuore, di beni immensi, di tesori infini . Abbiamo bisigno della tene‐rezza di Dio.
