MISSION STATEMENT: We, the faith family at St. Anthony/All Saints Parish (Canton, Ohio), are rooted in Catholicism & celebrate the traditions of our

diverse heritages. We welcome all people & encourage their involvement. We celebrate & value the uniqueness of each person, & seek to live & spread the Word of Jesus in our neighborhood, community & throughout the world.

Who can comprehend the Lord’s ways or conceive what the Lord intends? True wisdom leads us to acknowledge our limitations (a matter of

“calculation”) and our idols of materialism as we seek to follow the Lord without reservation. True discipleship calls us to forgive those who

have wronged us. May we gain wisdom of heart to discern more fully our call to take up the cross of Jesus.

Saint

Mother Teresa of Calcutta

You and I have been created for greater things. We have not been created to just pass through this life without aim. And that greater aim is to love and be loved. Give yourself fully to God, who will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in His love than in your weakness. Never think that a small action done to your neighbor is not worth much. It is not how much we do that is pleasing to God, but how much love we put into the doing. —Mother Teresa Born: Agnes Gonxha Bajaxhiu on August 26, 1910 in Skopje, Macedonia Died: Mother Teresa on September 5, 1997 in Kolkata (Calcutta), India Beatified: October 19, 2003 by Pope John Paul II Canonized: September 4, 2016 by Pope Francis

This Week’s Events

Dear Parish Family, We are celebrating the Labor Day weekend honoring the Labor Movement and those who work to build our community and provide for their family. While not a part of

the national celebration, it could be a great time to reflect on the work of the Church and our Lord’s call for laborers for the mission. One reasons we have a parish church is to be the place for the laborers, those who are baptized, to gather to refresh and rejuvenate themselves for the work ahead. The Scriptures and the Eucharist we celebrate should be feeding us and helping us to grow as the laborers of our Lord. The Pastoral Council of the parish has been working through the Diocesan Pastoral Plan that was promulgated in May of 2015. The Diocesan Pastoral Plan is an outline and guide for each parish to form their own pastoral plan, to strengthen each parish for the mission of evangelization. Some might see it only as a way to address the reduced number of clergy and to keep parishes open. While that might be a side effect of evangelization and a beneficial side effect at that, it really is about creating strong and health parishes that can truly serve God. We are attempting to implement the pastoral plan with the formation of our parish commissions and setting new sets of goals and objectives. This will be a way to facilitate the involvement of as many people as possible in whatever way might be possible for the various ages, abilities and availabilities of our parishioners. Ideally we work on these things because we are answering the call of our baptismal promise to help Jesus spread the good news of the Gospel. In reality we work on these things because the number of priests to serve our parishes is declining and there are many things lay people can do in parish leadership and ministry. Keep your eyes, ears, hearts and minds attentive and open in the weeks and months to follow. We will be talking about our Parish Commissions and our Parish Pastoral Plan. We will be asking for your involvement or at the very least your support. Wishing you an enjoyable Labor Day, may it be a time of rest, refreshment, and also reflection on the work that our Lord has waiting for us.

Your brother in Christ, Fr. Tom

A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE—Today’s Gospel is clear: Commitment to another involves sacrifice. Before we accept a commitment such as marriage or parenting, we must plan carefully like the king in today’s Gospel. These are serious commitments which demand complete self-giving and are not for the faint hearted or selfish.

Liturgy Committee

We are in the process of forming a Worship and Spiritual Life Commission. One part of the commission is the Liturgy Committee. The Liturgy Committee is responsible for the overall planning of Mass and Services in the liturgical season. The committee works with the Art and Environment Committee on adorning the church in anticipation of Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, Pentecost and other occasions. The committee evaluates and assesses our celebration of Mass, as well as on-going formation for liturgical ministers and parishioners in general. If you are interested in participating and joining this committee, please contact Anne Marie in the office.

THE CATECHESIS OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD

The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a catechetical program for children ages 3-12 years. It started in Rome, Italy in 1954 and has spread throughout the world. It is designed to help children nurture their relationship with Jesus and learn about the Catholic faith in a developmentally appropriate way. It is based on the educational principles of Maria Montessori, Sacred Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the spiritual needs of the child. It is a reflective-

based formation process that allows children to grow in their relationship with God within a sensorially rich environment called an atrium. In the atrium children and catechists listen together to the Word of God and reflect on the presence of Jesus in our lives and the life of the Church. If you know of any families who would like to participate in our program, please direct them to our website for more information or have them contact Anne Marie in the church office.

Opening the Door to the Joy of Mercy

Do you ever feel lost or alone? Have you ever felt you were missing something?

The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is the process of becoming a Catholic. In the RCIA process inquirers enter into an extended time of formation in which they discern and welcome God's invitation to

embrace life in the Catholic Christian community. During this process of initiation a person grows in knowledge of the teachings of the Church, explores the meaning of the Scriptures for daily life, develops

friendships with members of the parish community, learns to pray and worship in the Catholic tradition, and discovers the joy of serving others.

For more information about the RCIA process or to speak to a team member please contact: Roberta Muoio at 330-452-9539 or rmuoio@stanthonycanton.org.

The door is a liminal space where we move from one place to another. Thus, it is a sign of our conversion, of letting go of our old way of life and entering a new way of life in Christ. Whenever we walk through the Church doors, we remind ourselves that we have been changed to become more like Christ and daily we are

called to change our lives that we may serve others in the name of Christ. Here, we enter into the Church to find and know God’s mercy, love and care. Every need is filled when you walk through the doors. We invite you to come in, you are always

welcome home!

In cooperation with Little Flower Parish, we offer this opportunity to serve…
