With every passing week there are increasing signs that we are beginning to see the light at the end of this long and dark covid tunnel.
-
Vaccination eligibility continues to grow…
-
The number of covid cases and deaths are declining…
-
More and more restrictions are being lifted: restaurants are opening, concerts are being booked, sporting venues are opening their doors…
These signs give us hope, encouragement, and something to look forward to. 
Here at St. Anthony’s, we have our own as well: our choir will soon be returning, our gifts of bread, wine, and water can now be processed, and children’s liturgy of the word will be coming back this Fall.
And… and… and… our delayed parish pilgrimage to the Holy Land and Rome, is back on the calendar. We are overjoyed to announce that our long-awaited trip to Rome and the Holy Land is in its final stages of being actively planned.
In partnership with Catholic Central High School, and Cardinal Stritch University, our very gifted and talented team/hosts of Kathie and Jim Amidei, Tony Zimmer and Ken Knippel, Dan and Bonnie Scholz have been working with Nativity Pilgrimage Tours to plan, organize, and orchestrate a journey that will truly be deeply spiritual, transformational, and memorable.
