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

There is a popular hymn: “They will know we are Christians

by our love…”. On Wednesday last they knew we were

Christians by the ashes marked on our foreheads as we entered

our Lenten journey in a very visible way Today, on this First

Sunday of Lent, we are presented with Luke’s account of the

reason for our forty day experience of prayer, fasting and

penance. Luke’s gospel reminds us of the trials willingly faced by

Jesus before he began his messianic mission. This trial leaves

him victorious and prepares him to proclaim the gospel of the

kingdom of God. Luke explains that Jesus, filled with the Holy

Spirit returned from the Jordan and was led into the desert for

forty days to be tempted by the devil. During these days Jesus

confronts the devil, unmasks his temptations and conquers him.

As we read in the Preface for this First Sunday of Lent: By

abstaining forty days from earthly food, he consecrated through

his fast the pattern of our Lenten observance and, by overturning

all the snares of the ancient serpent, taught us to cast out the

leaven of malice, so that celebrating worthily the Paschal

Mystery we might pass over at last to the eternal paschal feast.”

The three temptations with which the devil confronted Jesus most

likely represent the challenges and struggles that Jesus had to

face throughout his entire ministry.

The first temptation by the devil is the challenge for Jesus to

turn the stones into bread. It is prefaced by “if…” if you are the

Son of God…”. The implication is that Jesus is not who he

claims to be. In the second temptation the devil offers Jesus

power and glory over all the world. If Jesus worships the devil,

the world would be his. The allure is considerable, but Jesus

chooses to serve God over the devil. The final temptation is a

challenge to prove that Jesus is the Son of God by throwing

himself off the parapet of the Temple knowing that legions of

angels will save him and he will survive unharmed. Again Jesus

refuses such a proposal and he will not do anything to prove his

messiahship. Recognizing Jesus as the Son of God can be

achieved only through faith. With this understanding of the

journey of Lent in imitation of the forty days Jesus spent in the

desert, we can choose the best way through prayer, fasting or

penance to prepare ourselves for the Passion and death of Jesus to

be followed by his glorious Resurrection.

Sincerely,

Fr John R. Mulvehill

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.

Classes as usual this week.

Bingo night was a huge success. The

youth group is extremely thankful for

such a great turn out. What I like about

our faith and this parish is the turn out.

What I mean is how much we all

support one another. The turn out is our

involvement in the parish and our faith. Looking from the

outside in I am always amazed to see so many people involved

in so many aspects of our faith. You are all truly inspiring.

The youth group understands the importance of being

involved. When the parish asks for our help whether it is

handing out the envelopes for the cardinals appeal or

removing the church missalette and installing the new ones.

Installing the bulletin inserts. We will always answer the call.

We greatly appreciate the support of the parishioners and all

the staff of Saint Anthony's. This is done with great pride and

admiration for all of you. I believe what we see in you is what

we bring to Honduras. The community we are working with

there has doubled in size since the beginning of building the

church. Being involved makes a difference in so many lives.

We are thankful for our involvement in this beautiful faith

and parish.
