"Hail Mary, full of grace".
For thousands of years, millions of times per day the Virgin Mary is greeted by the faithful with the greeting of the Archangel. The sons of the Church learn from the words of the Archangel Gabriel that the fullness of the mystery of God’s grace was realized in Holy Mary. St. Paul the Apostle teaches us that the Father made all fullness dwell in His Incarnate Son (c.f. Col 1:12-20), which overflows from Christ’s head and spills out on His Mystical Body that is the Church. Before descending in Body, Christ’s fullness was spread in a unique and unrepeatable way on Mary, predestined from eternity to be the Mother of God.

Youth Ministry News
Angel Tree for: God’s Little Lambs
God’s Little Lambs was founded in 1999 to provide daycare to the
homeless and very low- income families who are not receiving subsides
from the state. Over 90% of the 100 enrolled students pay a reduced
tuition which is made possible through donations from individual, churches
and organizations who love all of God’s children.
The Saint Anthony Youth Ministry asks for you help in making Christmas a little
brighter for these children by taking an ornament from the Angel Tree. The ornament
will have the name, age and one Christmas Wish for each child. If you could fulfill that
Christmas Wish and return the wrapped gift with the original ornament/tag attached by
Sunday, December 16th to insure these gifts are delivered the week before Christmas.
On behalf of the Youth Ministry Program, we thank you for your generosity and for
being an angel here on earth by sharing the love and grace of Jesus Christ this
Christmas.
