Thank you to all who helped with the October Spooktacular. From donations, to the 7th grade class and special events packing bags, to Debbie and Linda passing out candy! We served over 800 children during the downtown event, helping to spread the word “Welcome to St. Anthony’s”
Fall Vendor & Craft Fair was another success! Thanks to all who helped or came by to buy items or tacos! Special thanks to the Steiners who were new to the taco making team!
Volunteers Needed!! Lectors, servers, eucharistic ministers and other volunteers are needed. If you could sign up to participate once a month or every other month, that would be a great help. Remember “Many hands make light work!!” Please contact Debbie in the office at 283-6211.

Welcome to our Catholic family
Welcome to St. Anthony’s Catholic Parish: we are a family of love, service to God, and to one another. We proclaim God’s mission through the Eucharist, which is the source and summit of our Christian life. It is my hope that, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, many will join us as disciples of Jesus who said that, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”
Thanks to all who have brought life back into St. Anthony’s Parish. We are so fortunate to have so many of you participating and leading us forward. Our church is truly a community of Faith and Love.
