Cherishing the gift of the
human person
The dignity and beauty of the human person comes from the fact of the incarnation of God in the person of Christ. With the whole Church, St. Anthony parishioners have the privilege to recognize his image and likeness within the face of every person—from the moment of his or her conception until natural death.
St. Anthony has a variety of ministries to support the weak and vulnerable persons in our midst. In January, our young people attend the Youth Rally and Mass for Life at the Verizon Center with thousands of others from around the country.

Thanksgiving Prayer to St. Anthony
Most loving protector, St. Anthony, what gift can I give you in exchange to show my heartfelt gratitude? With your continued help I will show appreciation to you by being more faithful to God, more constant in prayer, and readier to do good to those nearest me....May these intentions convey my great thanks to the triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and to our blessed Lady, Queen of heaven and earth.
