8 Dallas Seminarians Installed by Most. Rev. SK Edward J. Burns to the Ministry of Acolyte Including Seminarian SK Kyle Fletcher

On the afternoon of October 9, 2023 at Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans, Louisiana, the Most Reverend Sir Knight Edward J. Burns, Bishop of Dallas, installed 25 seminarians to the ministry of acolyte, the second of four positions leading to their ordination to the priesthood in 2027. Acolytes aid deacons and minister to priests including the purification of sacred vessels, distribution of communion, and instructing others assisting during liturgical celebrations.

The 25 seminarians span 12 different dioceses and 1 religious community with eight being from the Diocese of Dallas. One of the eight Dallas seminarians, Sir Knight Kyle Fletcher, is a St. Anthony parishioner and member of Council 12300. He is the son of Sir Knight Patrick and Lady Linda Fletcher, and brother of Sir Knight Sean and brother‐in‐law of Lady Anne Marie Fletcher, who are also members of Council 12300.

Please pray for all of these seminarians, especially the eight Dallas seminarians, as they continue
their journey to the priesthood as they are the future of our church!

Cor Initiative

Knights of Columbus Council 12300 is excited to share the implementation of the Cor Meeting, a new formation and fraternal opportunity for all men of St. Anthony’s parish.  Cor is from the Latin phrase “Cor ad cor loquitor” or “Heart speaks to heart”.  The Cor Meeting exists to form and strengthen Catholic men in faith and virtue as missionary disciples drawing them into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer, formation and fraternity.

The  first Cor Meeting will be held at 7pm on Tuesday, August 29^th in Fr. Pondant Hall.  Activities to include a reflection on the Gospel of Matthew 18:21-35, Liturgy of the Hours-Evening Prayers and fellowship.  Come join your brother parishioners for light refreshments, prayer and fraternity.
