          SECOND COLLECTION
  • Collection for Diocesan Deacon Formation Program. Please be generous in supporting our Diocesan Deacon Formation Program on October 11. Our diocese is greatly blessed with over 100 deacons, 24 of whom were ordained in 2022. Your donation will assist not only with the ongoing formation and development of our deacons now serving in the diocese, but will also help with funding the instruction of the 13 men who began their five-year process of formation in 2022 and will be ordained, God willing, in 2027. Deacons are ordained to the service of the Bishop, his priests, and the people of God. They are a bridge between the sanctuary and the world in which they live. They bring the altar to the neighborhood and bring the needs of the neighborhood to the altar. They teach and help organize charitable resources within the parish and diocese. They bring the Gospel and the gift of themselves to the soup kitchens, the food banks, prisons, hospitals and wherever else a need exists as well as to the parish they are assigned to. Thank you for your support and generosity
          SEGUNDA COLECTA
  • Habrá una segunda colecta el 11 de Octubre. Esta colecta será para ayudar a financiar el programa de formación para Diáconos Permanentes. Sean generosos!

  • Seven Sisters Apostolate​
It is a privilege to pray for our priests. Seven Sisters Apostolate has a mission to pray for individual priests in small groups of only seven. Each woman chooses a different day of the week and offers one Holy Hour in front of the Tabernacle. Thus, the priest receives a Holy Hour every day.  It is a blessing for the priest and the intercessor.  If you would like to learn more about this apostolate, please contact Dawn Isabella at 336-213-1089. Please pray the Holy Spirit guides your heart in this matter. Let's watch Him work and hopefully get this started at St. Anthony's Parish for Father Jesus.​
  • Apostolado de las 7 Hermanas
Es un privilegio orar por nuestros sacerdotes. El Apostolado de las Siete Hermanas tiene la misión de rezar por los sacerdotes individuales en pequeños grupos de solo siete. Cada mujer elige un día diferente de la semana y ofrece una Hora Santa frente al Tabernáculo.  Así, el sacerdote recibe una Hora Santa cada día. Es una bendición para el sacerdote y el intercesor. Si desea obtener más información sobre este apostolado, por favor contacte con Dawn Isabella en el 336-213-1089.
Por favor, ora que el Espíritu Santo guíe tu corazón en este asunto. Veámosle trabajar y, con suerte, que esto empiece en la Parroquia de San Antonio para el Padre Jesús.

Our Lady
Dec 12 - Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe
Our Lady of Guadalupe Apparition:
On December 9, 1531 a poor Aztec Indian named Juan Diego was walking near a hill at Tepeyac just northwest of Mexico City when our blessed Mother Mary appeared. Mary told him to tell the bishop to build a chapel where he was standing. Juan Diego obeyed her direction but the Spanish bishop, Fray Juan de Zumarraga, asked him for a sign verifying his claim.
Juan Diego returned to the same spot, on December 12, and found dark pink Castilian roses blooming. These roses did not grow naturally in Mexico and were native to the archbishop’s home in Spain, and they were blooming when it was very cold!
Juan Diego gathered up the roses in his mantle also known as tilma. He went and he opened his tilma to pour out the roses for the bishop, revealing then on the fabric the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. All were amazed at what they saw and believed Juan Diego’s story.
Replicas of Juan Diego’s mantle made with the same type of cactus fiber materials last generally only 20-40 years before disintegrating. But after almost 500 years Juan Diego’s tilma is still well preserved with the image of our Lady.
  • Dr. Philip S. Callahan research biologist at the University of Florida, in his book “The Tilma Under Infra-Red Radiation” published in Jan 1, 1981 indicates that:  . . . “there is absolutely no protective coating of varnish . . . Despite this . . . the robe and mantle are as bright and colored as if the paint was newly laid.”
12 Dic - Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe
La Aparición de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe:
El 9 de diciembre de 1531, un indio azteca pobre llamado Juan Diego caminaba cerca de una colina en el Tepeyac, al noroeste de la ciudad de México, cuando apareció nuestra Santísima Madre. María instruyó a Juan Diego a que le dijera al obispo que construyera una capilla donde él estaba. Juan Diego obedeció sus instrucciones, pero el obispo, el español Fray Juan de Zumarraga, le pidió un signo que acreditara su afirmación.
Juan Diego regresó al mismo lugar, el 12 de diciembre, y encontró floreciendo rosas de Castilla de color rosa intenso. Esas rosas no crecían naturalmente en México, y además estaban floreciendo cuando hacía mucho frío, sin embargo, eran nativas de España la tierra del arzobispo.
Juan Diego recogió las rosas en su tilma. Fue y abrió su tilma para derramar las rosas en el suelo para el obispo, y la tela mostró la imagen de la Virgen de Guadalupe. Todos se asombraron de lo que vieron y creyeron la historia de Juan Diego.
Las réplicas del manto de Juan Diego hechas con el mismo tipo de materiales de fibra de maguey (agave - cactus) duran generalmente de 20 a 40 años antes de desintegrarse. Pero después de casi 500 años, la tilma de Juan Diego se conserva en perfecto estado con la imagen de la Virgen.
  • El biólogo investigador Dr. Philip S. Callahan de la Universidad de Florida, en su libro “The Tilma Under Infra-Red Radiation” publicado el 1 de enero de 1981 indica que:   . . .  “No hay absolutamente ninguna capa protectora de barniz  . . . A pesar de esto . . . la túnica y el manto son tan brillantes y coloreados como si estuvieran recién pintados".
