    • Catholic Schools Week




      There are 132,656 private and public schools in the United States, according to Department of Education statistics. Of those, 6,980 are Catholic elementary or secondary schools. What sets these Catholic schools apart from the pack?
       
      Three things, say educators, parents and community leaders: faith, academics and service. So, fittingly, the 2012 Catholic Schools Week theme focuses on these three priorities.
       

      1.  Children are taught faith - not just the basics of Christianity, but how to have a relationship with God. 
      2. Academics, which in Catholic schools are held to very high standards, help each child reach his or her potential. 
      3. Service, the giving of one's time and effort to help others, is taught both as an expression of faith and good citizenship.  

      The purpose of Catholic Schools Week is to build community awareness of, and involvement in, Catholic schools throughout the country. During this week, many dioceses and schools encourage parents to take full advantage of the benefits of local Catholic schools by enrolling their children in those schools.

      OUR MISSION 

      Our purpose is to establish a new West Coast tradition of celebrating life.

      We call for solidarity among women and all people of good will in affirming human life.

      Our mission is to change the perceptions of a society that thinks abortion is an answer.

      Abortion does violence to women and to their children, both physically and emotionally.

      It harms women and men; it divides families and society.

      Women--and all people--deserve better than abortion.

      Our mission in establishing the Walk for Life West Coast is to shed light on all issues of life, but particularly to change hearts hurt by the violence of abortion. Life is the best and only good choice!

      OUR GOALS:

      To be a vocal and visual message that people of the West Coast stand for life.

      Reach out to women harmed by abortion.

      Inform society of the damage done to women by abortion. Join us as we walk along San Francisco's waterfront, a great example of natural and manmade beauty, as we demonstrate for that most beautiful gift--life!

      We call upon all people of good will to join us!

    • The New Roman Missal is here

       

      The new Missal will deepen the "sense of the sacred" within the faithful.  The restoration of words like "soul" and 'adore" are a step along this road.  The Confiteor is one option for the Penitential Rite.  The new missal restores the three times we admit our guilt: "...through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault..."  We are all sinners in need for forgiveness and our admission of the facts puts God's salvific power into proper perspective.        
             Fr. Pat Walker
       

      Mass Prayer & Response Cards for Mass can be found under documents on the left hand side of the page on the Revised Roman Missal page of this site.  Print them for your own copy.
       

      How Does the Liturgy Shape Our Lives?

       To paraphrase Saint Augustine, we are to become what we pray. When we come to the celebration of the liturgy with hearts and minds open to God’s will for us, our faith is strengthened, our souls are nourished, and we are transformed, sent forth to serve our neighbor and to grow in unity with one another and with the Lord. In this way, the liturgy shapes our very lives. The rich texts, symbols, music, space, environment, and gestures communicate God’s call to us to become what God intends: his holy people.

      For more information on the changes to the Roman Missal, refer to the "Revised Roman Missal" page on this site.  http://www.st-anthonys.org/index.cfm?load=page&page=120  for videos on the changes from the USCCB in addition to brief descriptions of the changes.
