Our Parish.
Our Story. Our Future.
On October 2024, our beloved church was lost to fire. While the building was destroyed, the faith of our parish community remains strong. From the ashes of that tragedy comes a renewed opportunity to rebuild a sacred home where generations can gather in worship, prayer, and service.
The Raise Up St. Anthony campaign will help restore and strengthen our parish for the future. Through the generosity of our community, we will rebuild a church that reflects the beauty of our faith and supports the spiritual life of our parish for decades to come.

A Message from
Our parish family has always been a place where faith is lived, shared, and passed on. At St. Anthony of Padua, countless lives have been touched through the celebration of the Eucharist, the reception of the sacraments, and the fellowship of a faithful community gathered in Christ.
In October 2024, we experienced a devastating loss when our church building was destroyed by fire. It was a painful moment for all who love this parish. Yet even in that loss, we have witnessed something powerful — the strength, generosity, and unity of our parish family. It has reminded us that the Church is not just a building, but the people of God, gathered in faith and hope.
Today, we move forward with renewed purpose.
Through the “Raise Up St. Anthony’s – Be Part of the Vision” campaign, we are working together to rebuild our church and parish facilities so that future generations will have a sacred place to worship, grow in faith, and encounter Christ.
I invite you to join us — not only through your generosity, but through your prayers. Together, with faith in God’s providence, we will rebuild what was lost and strengthen the mission of this parish for years to come.
Thank you for being part of this journey of faith and rebuilding.
