Friends of St. Anthony's offer reflections
There are many signs of fall. One that I notice is the arrival of Italian plums in the grocery store. They are available for only a few weeks and when I see them I am sure to buy them. It is the time of year to make Svestkove Knedliky or plum dumplings, a Bohemian dish that I so enjoyed in my childhood. As I got out my cook book from Holy Trinity Parish of Haugen, Wisconsin to find the recipe I saw the names of many people from my past. The experience got me to thinking.
With the many recipes available on the internet, the use of cookbooks is hardly worth the while. After all, those cook books often provided from various churches simply take up space in the kitchen. It seems much easier to look for recipes on the internet and yet are we missing something? Have you ever thought that our parish cookbook can act as a source for remembering those who have walked with us in faith? As we approach the celebration of All Saints Day and All Souls Day, we pause to remember both living and dead.Read More

“Without sun, rain, and insects, the work of one’s hands would be fruitless. Each part of life needs the other to grow.
“Quiet communion with a garden revives peace and tranquility that slip away too easily.Read More
