The Grace of Forgiveness

February 23, 2026
Could you forgive the man who abducted and murdered your parents?
David Anthony will share the powerful story of this 1974 local tragedy and how his deep Catholic faith helped him discover God’s grace and embrace mercy. He will invite us to consider where we, too, need to extend forgiveness.
Mr. Anthony, who is a funeral director, embalmer, and cremationist for Anthony Funeral Homes, is a member of Queen of Heaven Catholic Church in Green. He serves as a eucharistic minister, lector, and usher. He is also a member of the Knights of Columbus Third and Fourth Degrees.
