Welcome Home This Christmas

As we approach the Christmas season, St. Anthony’s Evangelization Committee is reaching out to those who may have been away from the Church for a while. We want them to know they are missed, loved, and always welcome home.

If you know someone who has drifted away from the faith or hasn’t attended Mass in some time, please contact Andrew Lane with the Evangelization Committee or Debbie in the parish office.

Sometimes a simple, heartfelt invitation is all it takes to bring someone home. Let’s work together to fill our church and our hearts this Christmas season.
