THANK YOU FOR THE PICNIC! |
Given the fact that it was transferred a week later and in spite of the scorching heat, we are pleased with the attendance.
However, the real reason for the success of the picnic is you, the faithful parishioners and supporters of St. Anthony, who have donated your time and talent and worked tirelessly in various capacities, prior to, during and after the Festival. Our sincere gratitude to each one of you.
In particular, our praise goes out to Nancy Brkić, the parish secretary, and to the dedicated members of the Festival Committee with its chairperson Ferdo Brkić, for mastering so skillfully the completion of this enormous project.

will be taken today at the end of both Masses. The theme for this year’s Collection – Christ Our Hope – echoes that of the Holy Father’s apostolic journey to the United States in April 2008. The theme reflects the message of Pope Benedict XVI’s encyclical Spe Salvi: an invitation for people to encounter Jesus Christ personally. In the encyclical, Pope Benedict said that faith in Christ brings well-founded hope in eternal salvation, the “great hope” that can sustain people through the trials of this world.
Contributions to the Peter’s Pence Collection:
— enable the Holy Father to respond with immediate assistance to those who suffer as a result of war, oppression, disease, and natural disaster.
— provide an opportunity for Catholics to support the Holy Father’s mission – an active expression of Christ’s love for the poor – and stand in solidarity with Catholics worldwide. Please be generous! more

Our Chilren's School Mission Statement is a coherent partnership between our priests, teachers, parents and students.
The objective is to ensure that each student develops a firm foundation of our Croatian heritage, nurtured through a distinctive base of knowledge.
Continuing the accomplishments from last year, we have added an exciting new study program about Croatia, our beautiful homeland, a new dance and music class where students can learn how to play Tamburica and sing in a children's choir.

Dear parents, kids and friends,
Well, another school year has ended and summer is here.
The Croatian Children's School (CCS) is blessed to have a home at the St. Anthony's Church. Our priests Don Mate Bizaca, Don Vlatko Poljicak, and Msgr. Diomartich have guided us with immense support and a foundation for our work. Thank you.
A very important pillar in supporting CCS is Nancy Brkic. Her help and assistance to us has been enormous. I am happy and grateful to have her on board. Thank you Nancy!
This school year was remarkable!
CCS was busy learning and accomplishing new milestones with such spirit.
This year CCS received a new teacher Pablo Sepulveda Rosso. He came quietly to our school and quickly established progress with everybody. His knowledge of Croatian folklore created a stimulating learning environment, which was evident during CCS performances.
Thank you Pablo for your determination and tireless teaching. We all appreciate your energy, expertise and enthusiasm.
CCS is fortunate to have Teta Katica Ban, Silva Brkic and Larry Skertich! This is the team of teachers who inspire and encourage our kids. more
