Our Parish
Our Parish is a vibrant and welcoming community where faith, fellowship, and service come together to create a nurturing environment for all.
We, the people of St. Anthony Catholic Church, with the pastor, acknowledge God’s Kingdom on earth as revealed by the teachings of Jesus Christ. We are called to build God’s Kingdom by our example of communal worship and love of one another and by our awareness of service to all God’s people.

Our History
In very humble beginnings, in the theater of the former Bartonville State Hospital, a group of Catholic families began to worship together, forming the community that is today St. Anthony Catholic Church.
Our Patron Saint
