FROM OUR PASTOR Dear Parishioners, Today, January 4, as well as being the transferred Solemnity of the Epiphany (January 6) is also the feast of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, the first native-born American to be canonized. Hers is a fascinating story of motherhood, widowhood, conversion and foundation of the Sisters of Charity. Because of printing deadlines, I cannot say more. But I do want to take this occasion to salute her sisters on their bicentennial! Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, pray for your Sisters of Charity! -- Rev. Christopher R. Armstrong

Father Larry Mick Burse: A Living Legacy for 60-year Jubilee A burse is a permanently restricted endowment, with the interest used to help offset the cost of training local seminarians for the priesthood including tuition, room and board – about $30,000 a year.

A burse currently: * To be established requires a minimum pledged donation of $25,000. * Provides naming opportunity rights – benefactor or honoree, or as a memorial. * Is regulated by the board of trustees with interest presently allocated annually at six percent. Burses may receive additional capital over one’s lifetime, and even beyond, through inclusion in one’s will. Please make check out to St. Antoninus Parish and mark the memo line “Fr.

FROM DEACON DAVID ENDRES Next weekend we will celebrate the feast of the Baptism of the Lord. At this time we are asking you to think and pray about whether there is someone you know here at St. Antoninus who might make a good priest or religious sister or brother. It is no secret that most vocations begin with a personal invitation. Through this “Called by Name” initiative, you will have the opportunity to invite someone to consider the religious life by writing his or her name on one of the cards available in the pews that weekend. Father Armstrong will follow up with a letter to those who have been named. If we are to have priests and religious to serve the Church in the future they must come from among us, not from other parishes and other families.
