ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA PARISH
EFFINGHAM, ILLINOIS
Padre’s point of view . . .
Why do we do that?
When we enter church, why do we make the sign of cross and use holy water? We are blessing ourselves and
reminding ourselves of the Holy Trinity and the Pascal Mystery. WHAT? Yes, these are $25 theology
words. Simply, the sign of the Cross reminds us of the Father’s providential care, the Son’s Redeeming love and
Holy Spirit’s constant presence with us. Also, Jesus’ life, death and the power of the Resurrection are the central
mystery to our faith. By dipping the hand in Blessed (Holy) Water, we push out any demons lurking around,
we are reminded of Christ’s love and show to others His power.
Fr. Chris will be in the St. Anthony Church office on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
He will be in the Sacred Heart Church office on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Catholic Radio Days
Dear Parish family, On Thursday, April 7th, please listen in to
our local Catholic radio station on 91.3 FM for the Covenant
Network Spring Radiothon. This will be the "Effingham area"
hour and will give me the opportunity to highlight our two
grade schools and St. Anthony High School. We will be on the
air live from 10-11 AM with several student guests from all 3
schools. I will certainly give mention to you all throughout the
day when I'm helping host the various hours! In your
generosity, please consider not only tuning in, but calling in
your support at 314-752-7000 or 877-305-1234. Last Spring,
Effingham county had the most non-St. Louis calls for the
whole week! Covenant Network is not-for-profit and runs
entirely on the donations of its listeners. Please pray for its
continued growth! We wouldn't have a station in Effingham to
listen to if it wasn't for your generosity. You can also listen in
online at www.covenantnet.net or by downloading the
Covenant Network app for iPhone or Android devices. Thanks
for tuning in on Thursday, April 7th! -Fr. Edgar
Pro-Life Corner
“If you contemplate the Incarnation in light of the sacredness
of human life, it is revolutionary. The Savior of the world was
conceived. We often say that Jesus came to earth as a baby.
We tend to picture Jesus as a small baby, just born, lying in a
manger. But even more startling is that He came as a zygote,
grew into an embryo, then a fetus, then a full-sized baby.
I can think of no better reason to equate the value of life in the
womb the same as life outside. God Himself came to earth,
and He came as a zygote.”
Excerpt from the book “Deliver Us From Abortion” by Brian
Fisher
