Mission Statement
St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church, located in the Brookland area of northeast Washington, D.C., is a Catholic parish community of faith-filled Christians. We celebrate Christ's life and presence through celebration of the sacraments, vibrant and meaningful worship and a rich community life based on unity and love. We proclaim the Good News through hospitality, education and evangelization. We respond with love in service to those in need, and reach out with compassion in justice to the unprotected and defenseless in our community and beyond in order to reach the final destination of our earthly pilgrimage: happiness in eternity with almighty God. Been away from the Church for awhile? Please consider coming home... |
