The Catholic Toolbox is a six-week series about different aspects of the Catholic Church.

Coffee and a Movie

Monday, June 13th at 1:00 PM in the parish hall

Saint Anthony: Miracle Worker of Padua 

"This is the first major feature length drama on the life of St. Anthony of Padua, the beloved miracle worker and one of the most popular saints in Christian history. Made in Italy with top-notch acting talent, and superb cinematography, this is an outstanding film on the amazing life of St. Anthony. It presents Anthony as a dynamic and appealing person who sacrificed wealth, popularity, and family for the Kingdom of God.

Born into a Portugese noble family in 1195, Anthony defied his father's wishes that he become a knight and, instead, followed the call of God to become a monk, eventually joining the Franciscans as a follower of St. Francis of Assisi. Anthony became renowned for his powerful preaching and his miracles that won countless souls to Christ. The film follows his travels through Italy, his mission to Morocco, and his meeting with St. Francis. It beautifully portrays the power of his preaching, the holiness of his life, his love for the poor and oppressed, and the wonders of his miracles. Actor Daniele Liotti gives a truly memorable inspiring and performance as St. Anthony."

 

Small Christian Community

What is a Small Christian Community?
A group of 8 to 10 people meet weekly in someone’s home to study Sunday’s scripture readings. Each person discovers, at their own pace, how God has been actively loving them and helping them. In this environment, mutual trust grows, and members share their individual faith stories. The group becomes a small church in the large parish, so that everyone experiences the concern, prayer and emotional support of the Body of Christ.

Watch the bulletin every week for more answers to common questions about Small Christian Communities. St. Timothy Parish will soon be forming Small Christian Communities. We are looking for facilitators; training will be provided. To find out more about leading an SCC, call Anna-Marie Wright at 352-753-0989. If interested in joining a SCC group, please sign-up at: Click here to sign-up.

Have you ever wanted to read the entire bible in a year?

If you have 20-25 minutes a day, you can with the help of The Bible in a Year podcast! Fr. Mike Schmitz walks you through the entire Bible in 365 episodes, providing commentary, reflection, and prayer along the way.

For each period in the timeline, Jeff will join Fr. Mike for a special episode that will help you understand the context of each reading.
