St. Anthony of Padua Bulletin
November 2, 1997
Pastor's Thoughts
This weekend we celebrate two important
observances: All Saints Day on November 1st
and the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed
or All Souls Day on November 2nd.
One of the things that is important to me
about All Saints Day is to remember those saintly
but ordinary people who have had a profound
influence in my life and have taught me how to
walk toward the Kingdom of God.
I cherish the memory of my four grandparents
who exhibited their holiness in genuine everyday
living: Grandpa John who to me was a witness of
great patience, Grandma Susie who personified
nurturing, Grandpa Andy who truly made work a
grace, and Grandma Mary Ann who was innovative and
inquisitive.
I thank God for Sister Concepta, my first-grade teacher, who combined disciple with
attentiveness, and Sister Patricia, my eight-grade
teacher, who was alive with laughter and music.
I gratefully remember Father Philip OFM who
gave me my First Communion, Father Reinhold OFM
who thrust me into leadership, and Father Victor
OFM who made me be very clear about my intentions.
I often think of Dolores from California and
Francine from South Dakota, John from Barnet and
Michael from Sydney.
I look to these "saints" for inspiration and
intercession. Who are some of the saints who have
made you who you are? Name them. Thank them.
Pray to them.
On All Souls Days my thoughts and my prayers
especially turn to the people who have been buried
from this parish since last November 2nd. I ask
you to join me in praying to God for eternal rest
and perpetual light for our brothers and sisters
whose names are listed elsewhere in this bulletin.
Each one has been somehow part of the fabric of
our lives here at St. Anthony's and deserves our
solidarity with them in prayer.
For all of you who have lost a relative or
friend this past year, may the Lord give you peace
and consolation.
On a final note, I extend my thanks and
appreciation to "Martha's Friends" for preparing
funeral luncheons during this past year; you
provide a great service at a time of special need.
--Father Benet OFM
(Brother Loyola will be gone November 2-6, and I
will be giving a retreat to the Poor Clare nuns
near Philadelphia November 5-14.)

"If a man wishes to come after me, he must
deny his very self, take up his cross, and follow
in my steps" (Mk 8:34). We demonstrate our love
for God by our love for our neighbor. Stewardship
calls us to serve one another through love ...
bearing one another's burdens and therefore
fulfilling Jesus' commandment.
WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY
About Christian Worship:
--compiled by Brother Richard OFM
"..Authenticity in worship style is poorly served
in a community that schedules, for instance, a
'contemporary' Mass at 10:00 and a 'traditional'
Mass at 11:30. Schedules of this kind are often
intended to serve different groups of people in
the parish.
Consider, however the division in the
community [this reflects]...If we cannot learn to
sing one another's songs and if we cannot learn to
join in one another's prayer, how do we expect to
share in the Lord's healing and reconciling
ministry?...Reminding ourselves that the ideal
situation would be one celebration of the
eucharist on the Lord's day for which the entire
community would assemble, we can envision that a
Sunday eucharist would call for a confluence of
styles, yielding a wonderfully woven tapestry of
the community's prayer. Granted, a confluence of
styles requires much work, time and sacrifice, but
anything less than this borders dangerously on
remaining self-serving, self-gratifying and self-
centered - all of which is alien to the heart of
Christian worship."

CHANGES TO OUR WORSHIP AID
Believe it or not, Advent is just around the
corner, beginning at the end of November. Advent
also ushers the beginning of a new liturgical year
for the Church. Our annual subscription for
missalettes and hymnals with Oregon Catholic Press
renews as well.
As you might recall, for a number of years we
have received both missalettes, which change with
the seasons of the liturgical year, and the Music
Issue Hymnal, which stay in the pews year-round.
These worship aids have served us well.
But starting with this year's subscription,
you will notice a big change. Starting with the
First Sunday of Advent, we will replace two
worship aides with a single new aid:
Breaking Bread for 1998.
Rather than catch you unprepared at the end
of November, I thought you would appreciate a few
comments about the change before it starts, and
why we decided to make it. So, for the next few
weeks you can look forward to a little blurb from
me about the reasons for changing our
subscription.
Next week: what's new with our
subscription.

MASS AND ANOINTING OF THE SICK
St. Pius V Parish invites all of St. Anthony's
parishioners to a special celebration of the
Eucharist with the sacrament of Anointing of the
Sick on Saturday, November 8, at 1:00pm.
Christ taught his disciples to be a community of
love by praying together, by sharing all things,
and by caring for the sick. The St. Pius
parishioners invite you to participate in this
event and to witness to this teaching of Jesus.
Parish News
THE BOOK OF LIFE will be available in the
center of the church throughout the month of
November so that you can enter the names of those
who have gone before us in faith and that we all
can pray for them during this month commemorating
the Faithful Departed.
MEMORIALS: During this month of
November, as we remember our beloved dead in a
special way, you are reminded that there are many
special ways you can memorialize your dearly
departed here at St. Anthony's, for example:
1. Live Flowers for Special Feasts, like
Christ the King or Immaculate Conception, over and
above Christmas and Easter ($25 per small
bouquet);
2. Sanctuary Lamps lit in prayerful
remembrance of those who have gone before us ($5

3. Memorial Donation for a new book for the
parish library, for the Jan Krus Memorial
