An Invitation to Come Home for Christmas
As Christmas approaches, St. Anthony’s Evangelization Committee is reaching out to those who have been away from the Church. 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 has not 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!
