St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church

In Baptism, we “put on” Christ. In putting on Christ, we put on all that Christ is and represents: hope, faith, and love. We are no longer bound to the sins and failures of the flesh, and we put on God’s vision for the world.  We have been given a road map to follow for our life’s journey.

There is no need for regret, and we are not tethered to our past.  We have all made mistakes, and sometimes beat ourselves up over things we can no longer do anything about, except learn from them. To put on Christ means that we can now bring God’s unconditional love to our hurtful memories and sinful choices.

Our lives are meant to be celebrations of the Spirit, that we have received in Baptism. When we truly understand that we have put on Christ, our burdens can become much lighter. So many Christians carry the weight of the world on their shoulders. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if those weights could be lifted and joy experienced!  ©LPi

The Lux Christi Missionaires will be coming to our parish July 5^th. They are a branch of the Totus Tuus program that reachs out to high school students, those just confirmed, 9^th - 12^th grade students and college students home for the summer. The mission of the Lux Christi group is to reach out to our high school age students to help with their faith formation, while having fun! This years group includes Ben (from last summer), Theresia, Brooklyn (new one!) and John. We are excited for them to come!
