I regret to report that the "little grotto" of the Blessed Virgin to the left of St. Anthony Church was totally demolished due to a motor vehicle accident in the early hours of Friday, August 12.

Many thanks to all who contributed to the drive to replace the statue of Saint Patrick. Our beautiful new statue has arrived at St Anthony. It will be blessed at the 4 PM Mass on July 30. Please join us on this happy occasion.

The new statue of St. Anthony was blessed at St. Anthony Church, on February 12, by Msgr. Thomas Gervasio. For a link to pictures, click the article title.

Thanks to all who generously contributed to a new statue of St. Anthony, we have reached our goal! The hand-carved linden wood image, crafted by Demetz Studio of Ortisei, Italy, is in production and will take a few months to arrive. More about this addition to our parish patrimony upon its arrival.

We have already received a few donations for a new statue of St. Anthony of Padua. The Lindenwood statue shown at left, of Italy’s highly regarded Demetz Studio has been ordered. If you wish to contribute a gift toward the purchase of this statue, click the article title for more information.

Our statue of St. Anthony, co-patron of our parish, has seen its day, and is now looking quite worn and scruffy. Anyone who would like to help us replace this statue, especially those who are named after St. Anthony, are encouraged to contact the parish office.
