LITURGICAL MINISTRY is a wonderful opportunity to fulfill your baptismal call of service to one another. Our liturgies utilize the talents and gifts that God has given this parish community. Whether participation is through “behind the scenes” preparation and planning or through a public role of service within the Mass, parishioner contributions help our liturgies to be truly life-giving celebrations. Please prayerfully consider joining one of these ministries. St. Anthony's Parish is seeking parishioners to prayerfully consider a liturgical role as a Eucharistic Minister, Altar Server or Sacristan. If you would like to learn more or participate in a liturgical ministry, please contact Kris Torrey at (207) 857-0490 or [email protected] . Click here to see the requirements to participate.

As election day approaches, I want to share my letter to our future president. While we may not be satisfied with the results, we must accept them. I hope that you take the time to vote. Voting is a privilege and a responsibility.
Regardless of the outcome of the November 5th election, we need to pray for our future president. I believe that our nation and our national soul are hurting deeply. Antagonism will only make things worse. Prayer will move us to action, and loving action can help to heal our divisions. God bless you. Click here to read the letter.
