“When you send forth your spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the earth.” Psalm 104:30 Dear St. Anthony’s Parish & Trinity School Families, When St. Anthony’s was founded in 1909 it was the Parish of St. Anthony and the Holy Ghost. The image painted above our high altar is a beautiful representation of Pentecost. We have been enjoying this image for years. The long standing ties of this Parish to the Holy Spirit makes this year’s feast of Pentecost a beautiful moment to celebrate a community renewal of St. Anthony’s Parish & Trinity School.

The annual Nazareth Guild gala was shifted to an online event this year. They have asked each school to set a goal based on previous donations and try to meet the goal. Ours is set at $2000. They are really asking anyone who has benefited personally from grants, scholarships, etc. to donate. If you are able to give a small amount, the Nazareth Guild would appreciate it. https://www.classy.org/campaign/celebration-of-light/c289608 This link goes to the page. Please select Trinity's individual account to help us reach the goal. Others can be invited to donate as well if you know of anyone.

On June 14, the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, Bishop Thomas Daly will officially open a diocesan Year of the Eucharist. The idea for the year began before the COVID-19 crisis, and as the pandemic unfolded parishes were shut, regular access to the sacraments was suspended. Bishop Daly and your pastors heard from you, the lay faithful of the diocese, about your hunger for the Eucharist during this time. As we return to Mass it seems providential that plans had already begun for a Eucharistic year.

Join us for Mass Our Mass schedule is Saturdays at 4:30pm, Sundays at 8 & 11am with mass in Vietnamese at 1pm. Daily Mass is Tues, through Friday at 8am. We ask that you wear a face mask while in the Church and maintain six feet of distance between families. The Church can host 41 people at each mass and we ask that all individuals give their name and phone number for the purposes of contact tracing. Our office hours are Mon-Thurs from 9am to 12:30pm. We are closed on Fridays. https://stanthonyspokane.org/

Children crowned Mary for May. Families reconsecrated themselves to Mary.

How to write the Governor A few recommended principles if you decide to write a letter: As Catholics, our faith is not optional, it is essential. We as Catholics do not want to risk anyone's health, we strive to be citizens who care for our neighbors. We are seeking more access to the sacraments in Eastern Washington because of the local realities of our region, we believe the Governor should take that into consideration as plans continue to be developed. Be cordial, if you haven't had a chance to see the letter from the Bishops of Washington on Civility in politics now is a good time to read it.

Readings for the Triduum, and live-stream Masses Prayer for Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You. Amen.

For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord, you are light. Live as children of light.” Ephesians 5:8 In this time of global pandemic, we take our mission very seriously, we continue to support catechists, parents, and others in the Church and beyond, as they grow in their understanding of the religious potential of children.

Everyone, Please see the attached update from Bishop Daly. It is currently being translated into Spanish and when that is complete I will send it out. In the MEMO, bishop mentions making a perfect act of contrition. On March 20th, Pope Francis live streamed a message regarding the issue of people who cannot get to confession because of the COVID-19 lockdown. The Holy Father reminded us of the traditional Catholic teaching on the power of making a perfect act of contrition. He remarked, "This is the right time, the opportune moment. An act of contrition done well, and our souls will become white like the snow." What is a perfect act of contrition? The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that perfect contrition is present when our sadness for sin results from our love for God above all else. In short, perfect contrition is hatred for sin because we love God. On the other hand, imperfect contrition is the result of fear, which is to say, I am sad for my sins because I am afraid of Hell. One type of contrition results from love. The other results from fear. When we go to sacramental confession, imperfect contrition is sufficient to receive the pardon of our sins. However, in extraordinary circumstances when we cannot get to confession, we can make an act of perfect contrition which is sufficient to have our sins forgiven. It is important to note that a perfect act of contrition includes the intention to receive sacramental confession at the very first opportunity. All mortal sins, forgiven through the act of perfect contrition, must be mentioned to the priest in confession as soon as possible. The fact that we can always make an act of perfect contrition in a situation like the COVID-19 pandemic is very consoling. At this time of plague and being unable to go to the Sacrament of Penance, Pope Francis instructs us to make a perfect act of contrition and promise God, “I will go to confession afterward, but forgive me now. And immediately you will return to a state of grace with God." This generosity on the part of God has been needed at various times throughout history. In the plagues of Middle Ages, in the midst of various wars, and in places where priests were scarce, the ability to make a perfect act of contrition was a healing salve for sinners in love with God. That same healing salve is available to all of us at this difficult time of pandemic. How to Make a Perfect Act of Contrition Call to mind your sins. Reflect on God’s tremendous and unconditional love for you and how your sin offends that love. Express your sorrow for disappointing God. Make the intention to go to sacramental confession as soon as it is possible for you with the intention of mentioning any mortal sins forgiven through your perfect act of contrition. Pray an Act of Contrition. Act of Contrition O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of heaven, and the pains of hell; but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen. Please share this information as you see fit. Let me know if you have any questions. God bless, Fr. Connall

FORMED Available for All in the Diocese The Augustine Insititute has extended the FORMED platform to all Catholics in the Diocese of Spokane for the next 40 days. FORMED is a streaming platform similar to Netflix but with Catholic content. Some parishes already pay for this service for their parishioners and can continue to log in as normal. For those who don't have FORMED this is an opportunity to learn more, be inspired and grow in faith. Informational series like Presence (see the trailer below) will help your desire for the Eucharist grow, movies like Clare and Francis will help you be inspired by the saints, and the children's animated features can help your children learn the faith while watching TV.
