The mission of Saint Anthony of Padua Parish is to develop an atmosphere for the members of our faith community to live out the four-fold goals of the Catholic Church. These goals include: Worship, Word, Service, and Community.

November is Black Catholic History Month.  There are five people from the Black Catholic community whose lives are being studied and miracles considered for sainthood:  Mother Henriette Delille, Mother Mary Lange, Fr. Augustus Tolton, Pierre Toussaint, and Julia Greeley. These holy men and women are examples for each of us to consider as we strive to follow after Christ. May we not only grow in our love for them but may we also promote their causes wherever we may go.  For more information, please visit https://nolacatholic.org/road-to-sainthood.
