We can also receive any major credit card at the parish office for your convenience or do so over the phone if that is helpful. 

"Abba, Father, open my heart
to receive hope 
even while I suffer 
to receive patience and 
to trust in Your will 
even if I don't understand it
at the moment. "

 - Rev. John A Kane

Oración por el sufrimiento.
  "Abba, Padre, abre mi corazón
  para recibir esperanza,
  incluso mientras sufro
  recibir paciencia y
  confiar en tu voluntad,
  incluso si no la entiendo
  en este momento.  "
   - Rev. John A Kane

Please do not leave WeCare gifts-in-kind at the church or parish office. 

If you have clothes you would like to donate, please do not leave them at the office or in the back of church. Rather, kindly get in touch with Family Promise, Coalition for Human Care, Habitat for Humanity or GoodWill for their hours and drop off locations. 

Our WeCare Ministry will be taking a break for an indefinite period of time during which time we will not be receiving or delivering items. Please wait for further announcements regarding our WeCare Ministry. Thank you for your understanding.

The parish office will be open at our normal time on Friday, January 21st.

Please be attentive to any weather related announcements through WRAL. There is inclement weather forecast for this weekend.

In view of the rapidly expanding presence of the Coronavirus variant Omicron, and because the health of the parishioners of St. Anthony of Padua is a very high priority, please take heed of the following precautions concerning Mass attendance for this weekend and for the weeks to come:

1. If you are having even slight symptoms such as sniffling or a sore throat, I strongly encourage you to stay home. As we do not have social distancing between pews present in Church at this moment, please do what you can to respect the health of others, especially of those who have not received the COVID vaccine and of those who are at risk from any illness because of age or frailty.
   • Many people who have received the COVID vaccine shots are contracting this new omicron variant, so it is best that all of us take the same precautions.
2.  I would like to remind you that Bishop Zarama has continued to dispense the faithful from their Sunday obligation for concerns with the COVID-19 virus. If you remain home, even for slight symptoms, you are making good discernment according to the authority that God has put in place over the Church, i.e. the Bishop.
3. As our church building is small and there is currently no social distancing between the pews, I suggest the option of wearing a mask in the building during mass, as well, for extra precaution.
4. We live stream our 10am Mass on Sunday in case you would like to avail yourself of the prayers of the mass from your home.

• • Si tienen síntomas (aun ligeras) como lloriqueo o dolor de garganta, les animo encarecidamente que ustedes permanezcan en casa. Desde no tenemos distancia social entre las bancas durante este momento, por favor, hagan lo que pueden para respetar la salud de otras, especialmente de los que no han recibido la vacuna de COVID y de los que están en riesgo de enfermedad por razón de edad o fragilidad.
    1.    Muchos que han recibido la vacuna todavía están enfermos de esta Ómicron variante. Por eso, lo mejor es que todos toman las mismas precauciones.
  • Recuerdan que el obispo Luis Rafael continua a dispensar la gente de su obligación Dominical por razones del peligro de COVID-19. Por eso, si están en casa, no se preocupen. Están haciendo buen discernimiento en acuerdo con la autoridad que Dios ha puesto sobre la Iglesia aquí, es decir, el obispo.  
  • Desde el espacio en la iglesia es diminutivo, y desde no tenemos distancia social implementado, yo sugiero que nosotros tomemos la opción de vestirnos con mascaras cuando estamos en el edificio de la iglesia durante las misas.
  • Si quieren, todavía tenemos una transmisión en vivo de la misa en español, para que podamos orar con la misa de la casa.

Gracias por examinar estas precauciones, y oremos por todos nuestros amados aquí, especialmente los enfermos.

Padre Juan Kane
