Welcome to
St. Anthony Parish, Taylor Mill, KY.
From the Desk of the Pastor
Festival Weekend is rapidly approaching and many are needed to make it successful. The Parish Festival is Friday June 7 and Saturday June 8. I have been told many times that ours is the “first and the best of the summer.” St. Anthony Parish festival is more than a FUND raiser it is also a FUN – raiser: an opportunity for friends and families to gather, work to a common purpose, build community and HAVE FUN. It is an opportunity to see friends, renew old acquaintances, and meet fellow members of the parish. It truly is a vital PARISH EVENT!! You can you help make it great. Buy a raffle ticket. Raffle tickets are being sold after each mass for the next couple of weeks. In the past, we have sent out $40 worth of tickets for the chance to win about $1800. This year we will be awarding $10,000. Consider asking family members to buy or go in on the cost of a ticket. Work a shift at the festival. It takes about 800 workers to fill the entire festival shifts. 2 ½ hours are all it takes to help make this event a success. Donate to the various booths. There are still plenty of tags left on the giving tree. This can be an easy way to support the parish. Consider buying a scripts certificate to donate. Come to the festival! A lot of hard work goes into making this a safe, fun event for the entire community. Please come down to visit, have a bite to eat and of course spend some money!

To the Scriptures
“Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky?” the angels asked the disciples who witnessed Jesus’ ascent into heaven. “Move on!” they seemed to be saying. “Jesus will be back; get busy while he’s gone.” Jesus himself, just before he ascended and disappeared from view, told them he would always be with them! Is it any wonder they were confused and needed some time to just stop and stare? Each year on this feast day, the church gives us some time to stand and look at the sky. We imagine the scene as Jesus disappeared; from our vantage point we now know what he meant when he said he’d always be with us, and we know in personal ways how this has been true in our lives. So we don’t stand looking up for very long. We have to remember our mission. We have to go make disciples of
all nations.
