The pastor's role as teacher and sanctifier is a sacred obligation, announcing the word of God to those living in the parish and instructing in the truths of the faith. His work as a teacher and sanctifier is to seep into his homilies. His efforts at catechetical formation should be especially attentive to the formation and education of children and young adults as well as lapsed Catholics. Father Anthony's weekly column serves as an aide for parishioners, friends and neighbors of St. Boniface Parish and St. Meinrad Parish in Spencer County, Indiana, to aid in their reflection on the universal call to holiness found in the scripture, living tradition and the magisterium of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic of the church. Father Anthony has offered a weekly column in the parish bulletin since September 2009. He is a monk and priest of Saint Meinrad Archabbey and serves in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.
