Parish Mission Statement We, the parish family of St. Anthony Roman Catholic Church welcome all, young and old, active or inactive, committed

or alienated, to enrich their lives by joining and participating in our faith community. We seek to reflect the light of Jesus

Christ by reaching out to serve all, and by sharing our joy and hope, as we continue our faith journey. May our lives,

inspired by the Holy Spirit, and nourished by the Eucharist, bear witness to our love for neighbors near and far.

ST. ANTHONY PARISH COHASSET, MA

Dear Parishioners

Almost every parish, business, agency and entity of any kind

in recent years has drawn up a mission statement, and indication

of the mission of the entity and the vision for its future. One of

the first items on the agenda of our Parish Pastoral Council some

years ago was the drawing up of our parish mission statement.

This statement is posted in the vestibule of the church, and is

printed on the front of our weekly bulletin. It not only describes

the mission of the parish, but also introduces challenges which

face the parish. Because it is printed on each bulletin, it can

easily be overlooked. We suggest that you notice this Mission

Statement and see if we are fulfilling it, and, if not, how can we

better fulfill it.

I mention this at this time, because this statement was drawn

up by our first reorganized Parish Council. When the Eighth

Synod of Boston, the gathering of laity, priests and bishop was

held in 1989, the members of the Synod decreed that all parishes

should introduce a Pastoral Council. As part of its renewal of the

Church, the Second Vatican Council called for a number of new

structures to promote active involvement and collaboration in the

mission of the Church. After the council, a new structure was

proposed by the Church to call forth in an orderly fashion the

insights and cooperation of persons at the level of the local

community. That structure is the Parish Pastoral Council.

The rationale for the Parish Pastoral Council may be found in

the Vatican Council’s Dogmatic Constitution on the Church. It

said “By reason of the knowledge, competence or preeminence

which they have, the laity are empowered—indeed sometimes

obliged—to manifest their opinion on those things which pertain

to the good of the Church. If the occasion should arise this should

be done through the institutions established by the Church for

that purpose and always with truth, courage and prudence and

with reverence for charity toward those who, by reason of their

office, represent the person of Christ.”

The members of our Parish Pastoral Council have been

elected for a three year term, with one third of the Council

elected each year. This allows for a continuity and a hold over of

two thirds of old members to greet the new ones. In becoming a

collaborative parish with St. Mary in Hull, the Parish Pastoral

Council will be a joint Council with representatives from each

parish. The Parish Finance Council will be separate with each

parish retaining its own Council.

Sincerely,

Fr John R. Mulvehill

Living our Faith Together Save the Date! Next weekend, we will be taking important steps

to enrich many life-changing ministries in our parish

communities. Life Teen Youth Ministry and other religious

education programs, Addiction Recovery Services, and Faith

Community Nursing for our homebound parishioners are

among more than 50 critical ministries supported by the 2019

Catholic Appeal. As we prepare to embark on this season of

Lent, may you prayerfully consider supporting these important

ministries. Your generosity provides nearly half the funding

for these great efforts, and every gift makes a difference.

Please find more information about this life-changing work in

today’s bulletin insert or visit our website at

bostoncatholicappeal.org to view our latest video about the

appeal. Thank you!

Many times a decline in health or inability to

drive can make getting to Church difficult or

not possible for us or our loved ones. When

such events take place in our lives then we

need to let the parish know of your situation so that we can assist with communion or the

anointing of the sick. If you or someone that

you know is in need, please contact Deacon

Paul Rooney at 781-383-0219 to schedule a

visit.

Grades 1-6

We will once again be participating in the Catholic Relief

Services (CRS) Rice Bowl program. During Lent, which begins

on Wednesday 3/6, CRS Rice Bowl invites you, your family and

community to journey together to reach out beyond ourselves to

encounter the needs of all. Starting in February we will be

distributing Rice Bowls, one for each family. We ask you to

consider $1 per day for the 40 days of lent. This would feed one

family for a month or 2 years of seed for a farmer or one

emergency kit for refugees. We will collect them at the end of

lent.

Lent starts Wednesday March 6th with Ash Wednesday. There

will be a ceremony and ash distribution on Wednesday 3/6 at 4

pm.

There will be a Family Mass the weekend of 3/10 at 9:30.

**************************************************

REMINDER: - 10TH GRADE PARENTS AND

CONFIRMATION CANDIDATES: WE WILL MEET IN THE

CHURCH, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26TH AT

7PM...SPEAKER, FATHER DAN O'CONNELL WILL JOIN

US....please be on time.

9TH GRADE CCD RESUMES SUNDAY MARCH 3RD AT

THE 5PM MASS. Attendance is required.

GRADE 10 classes resume Sunday, March 3rd at the 5pm

Mass---Attendance is required.

7th grade and 8th grade Regular classes resume Sunday,

On March 2nd we will be hosting a Bingo

night fundraiser. This will be a fun filled

evening for families and all parishioners.

The youth and their parents are working

very hard to make this an amazing night. I

believe for $10.00 per person you will

receive pizza and drinks, (soda or water). desert coffee and Bingo

cards. We will have silent auction items and great prizes for

winners of each Bingo game. Please see the flyer insert. What is

important to me as the youth leader is the hard work each of us

must put into the mission. The commitment to each other. This is

not thought of as a sacrifice. This is simply a way of life. We

cannot understand the purpose of the mission if we are not willing

to work hard for it, now and especially afterwards for our entire

lives. We do not seek reward. The reward will come in the eyes

and hearts of those we work with and the humble

accomplishments of our love. We do not seek points. The point of

our mission is to grow and to be reminded that we need to justify

our lives. We remain humble and quiet with what is

accomplished. In the end it is not how much we get done. What

really counts is what we start and continue with. As it was in the

beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end.
