Parish Mission Statement The Church community of St. Anthony, in partnership with our cluster parish, St. Mary’s is a family of God’s children bound together by God’s divine presence, God’s love for us, our love for God, and our love for one another. It is our mission to develop an even greater sense of awareness of Jesus’ presence in our own lives so that we may joyfully reflect it to others by Christ-like example. As members of God’s family, we have a commitment to use our God-given talents to promote God’s message of love, to worship, educate, evangelize, and respond to the spiritual and human needs of our parish, cluster, district, diocese, community, and all other people. Through the grace of the Holy Spirit, we are called to be a lighthouse of faith to shine forth from our parish as a beacon to guide our community to the Lord. When life seems difficult and troublesome, our faith offers us security and strength. When we come together to celebrate God’s gifts, the Holy Spirit fills us with joy. more
