DON’T RESIST HAPPINESS ANY LONGER
“ The right book at the right time can be
life changing”
Please join us in becoming the best version of ourselves and strengthening our
parish community by participating in a 6
week study of the book “Resisting Happiness” by Matthew Kelly. This book was
distributed to parishioners on Easter
weekend. We will start our faith journey
on Thursday April 27. We will meet at
O’Reilly Hall from 7 to 8:30pm. The first
session will be “Something Is Missing”,
chapters 1 thru 6. If you have any questions or would like to sign up for the book
study, please call or text George Tucker
at 307-277-3662. We have extra books if
you didn’t receive one.
Our First Reading from the Acts of the Apostles presents us
with a glimpse of the early Church, the early Christian community. This passage is often misunderstood in some ways.
When it speaks of “communal life,” that term is based upon a
brief translation of a Greek word which means much more
than what it might seem.
The Greek word is Koinonia (κοινωνία), which is a broad term
meaning association, communion, fellowship, and joint participation. It means to share in something. This is an excellent
example of stewardship which has meaning for us today. Our
parish is a community, one in which we are all called to share
and to participate. Koinonia identifies an almost ideal state of
fellowship and unity which should exist in the Church, the
Body of Christ. It should be more than just attending Mass.
The Youth Ministry at St. Anthony
of Padua Catholic Church is currently selling a discount card
which is full of offers from various restaurants. All net proceeds
will be used to help the youth
raise money for retreats. The
card sells for $20 & doesn’t expire until April 30, 2018. If you
are interested in purchasing a
card please call or stop by the
church office at 266-2666. Thank
you for the support.
Youth Group Plate Lunch April 30, 2017 after the 11:00 am Mass. They will be serving 3
different flavors of Baked Chicken, your
choice of Roasted Potatoes, Corn, Baked
Beans, or Potato Salad with a dinner roll and
cookie for dessert. $8.00 for adults & $6.00
per kids. All proceeds are to help support St.
Anthony’s Youth Groups.
When we speak of stewardship, we understand that it means
much more than placing something in the collection basket. It
means that we share all of our gifts, our time and talent also,
with the community and others in need. It will be difficult for
us to ever match the sense of association and the joy of that
early Church, but it is a model for us to which we as a faith
community should aspire.
To be community and to be in communion with one another
and with God requires active participation, not passivity. Father Thomas Merton O.C.S.O. once wrote: “The deepest level
of communication is not communication, but communion…
beyond speech…beyond concept.”
Safe Environment Training will be May 2 nd
at 6:00 pm in O’Reilly Hall (basement of
the Church.) If you have recently done a
background check for Eucharist Ministry,
Ushering or any volunteering for St. Anthony’s church we need you to come and do a
Safe Environment Training. The Safe Environment Training is required per Cheyenne
Diocese to be able to do your ministry for
the church. If you want to sign up for the
training or have any questions please call
the Shepherd Staff office at 266-2666.

It's time for that 5 year tune-up! We would
never expect a car to run smoothly forever
without a tune-up, so why do we expect our
marriage relationship to keep running smoothly without a little maintenance? The Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend gives married couples the tools to keep their relationship in top running condition.
The next weekend is in Douglas April 21-23!

Beginning Experience of Wyoming April 28th – 30th 2017
Beginning Experience is a weekend program that offers healing
and renewal to divorced, widowed and separated men and women. It is a non-profit, faith-based comprehensive program offered to all persons, regardless of religious preference. A Beginning Experience weekend offers support and direction to help
resolve grief or anger that can follow the end of a marriage by
divorce, separation or death. The weekend can be a time for a
real awakening, a re-evaluation, and a new beginning. Beginning Experience is a positive experience of hope. You can anticipate an intense reflective, possibly painful, but spiritually honest self-encounter. You will also find support, warm fellowship,
and community. The next Beginning Experience weekend will
be in Casper and starts at 7:00 P.M. on Friday evening April 28th
2017 and runs through Sunday afternoon around 4pm April 30th
2017. The donation we ask for the weekend is $150.00, which
includes sleeping arrangements, meals, and materials. Scholarships are available. No one is turned
away due to finances. Registration deadline is April 26th 2017. Contact these team
members for more information.

The National Day of Prayer is an
annual observance held on the first
Thursday of May 4, 2017 inviting
people of all faiths to pray for the
nation. It was created in 1952 by a
joint resolution of the United
States Congress, and signed into
law by President Harry S. Truman.
Our Task Force is a privately funded organization whose purpose is to
encourage participation on the National Day of Prayer. It exists to
communicate with every individual
the need for personal repentance
and prayer, to create appropriate
materials, and to mobilize the
Christian community to intercede
for America’s leaders and its families. The Task Force represents a
Judeo-Christian expression of the
national observance, based on our
understanding that this country
was birthed in prayer and in reverence for the God of the Bible.
Rosary Makers:
Handmade chain rosaries are available at the Shepherd’s
Staff for a suggested donation. Come during office hours to
see our display. All money goes to buy supplies to make
Gluten Free Hosts
Gluten Free Hosts are available for those who
need them. Please inform the Priest 15 minutes
before each Mass.
BULLETIN NOTICES:
Deadline for the bulletin is 12:00 pm on Monday. You may
drop notices by the Shepherd’s Staff, mail them to 604
S.Center, or e-mail them to [email protected]. Thank you very much.
