1/12/24 - Fr. Anthony Amato

Fr. Anthony Amato is the Pastor of St. Peter's Parish in Clifton Springs, New York. He was ordained as a priest in June of 2017 by Bishop Salvatore Matano of the Diocese of Rochester, New York.     In Today's Show I noticed on our altar at Mass that the small Crucifix was not there. Is it required? Is it possible to have Gregorian masses said for the living? At a low mass, why are homilies sometimes said? Should wives and mothers work outside the home? What was Father's Latin formation, if any, in the seminary? Why does the Traditional Latin Mass not typically involve distribution of the Precious Blood? Can Mary, Joseph, and the saints read minds? Are prayers said aloud more effective than silent prayers? Can someone be cursed if they're in a state of grace? Is it permissible for lay people to pray over one another?   Visit the show page at thestationofthecross.com/askapriest to listen live, check out the weekly lineup, listen to podcasts of past episodes, watch live video, find show resources, sign up for our mailing list of upcoming shows, and submit your question for Father!
