St. Anthony de Padua Catholic Church

This is a beautiful and lively parish that I’ve visited a few times. Father Kevin is very kind and welcoming as are the parishioners. One great bonus at St Anthony’s is the outstanding music. I may end up making this my parish.

Traditional architectural style church that provides calmness, a sense of well being. Parishioners are very sociable and welcoming.

Everyone I've had contact with is so kind, this has been my church for over 10 years . I love my parish

Love their early Sunday Mass but more importantly, I feel the love of God when there. Beautiful church and a beautiful congregation.

It's like one big happy family, everyone there is very friendly. I feel right at home.

Father Kevin is the most personable priest I have ever met.

Is a great place to connect with God and pray.

Beautiful church and nice place feel blessed and relaxed I love it ❤

Love this church. People are great. Left my old church and so glad I did. Amazing how much the pastor attitude affects the congregation.
Here... u leave and actually remember the sermon.

I have been coming to this church since I was 10. Think nearly twenty years. Though, I'm not sure I can say that definitively. When I was 16, I left the Cathloic Church. I wanted something new to try. So, I didn't believe much of anything for over 10 years. It was truly by coincidence of my younger brothers First Holy Communion, and my own desire to attend Mass one day, came as one. The service went on as per usual, with special readings focused on a young child meeting that early, special Sacramemt. The decor inside had changed some. We didn't pass the offering basket as we once would have. The bustling halls of the cafeteria were quiet. It felt so wrong. Strange. Empty. But, as I found, once the pandemic hit, many people beyond myself chose to leave the church. The offerings weren't as large as they had been. The religious education teen youth director, Mari, was gone. She had two babies over the year, had married, and moved away. I remember her genuine excitement for all activities church related. I remembered being a teenager sitting through Sunday School, wondering what we would be learning. To this day, the only thing that has stuck in my mind, is tabernacle, the place where the Holy Eucharist is kept. While the attendance is sparse, the spirit, love for God, and community is still there, represented as a tiny glow, versus the large one I was once used to. The pandemic certainly made it harder to do traditional little thimgs. But the people held on. While I personally don't believe in anything the Catholic Chruch says. I believe the spirit, the love, the teachings of God is within us all, especially when we come together. But I also think something my fiancé said that is also beautiful. (I love love love the teachings and way of living of Buddhism, it's remarkable) He had read somewhere that combined the two approaches so wonderfully... We are reincarnated so many times, until we are deemed worthy to go to Heaven.
I don't care where I go when I pass on from this plane of existence. So long as his soul and mine revolve each other like the fishes of Yin Yang.. Endlessly, Forevermore, and Always.
Try coming here. Let this church give you that sense of community I have always wanted and found once more.
And grant you peace.

Another great older church in town with some great history. The priest is from Ireland, so you get some great stories from time to time. You can always hear the choir singing as the acoustics are great in there. It's a bit small so get there early for a good seat. There is also a small balcony section you can sit in.

Beautiful church, very calm and everyone makes you feel welcomed. Enjoy the sermon each time I have been there.

This is a great church... very loving and welcoming. Great priests. As I was visiting other churches in the area I found that the priests had heavy foreign accents. I'm sure they're all greats priests but I struggled to understand what they were saying during mass because of their heavy accents. Don't get me wrong, the priests at St Anthony of Padua have ascents also but they're Irish accents which is not a problem for a part Irish/Italian/Lithuanian boy like me to understand.

Beautiful church the priest was sooo funny and also sincere during my best friends wedding couldn’t have asked for more. Oh also the staff one lady in particular i forget her name she had a bad ánkle was amazing with the whole family !!

I love this church; been going since I moved here from Oregon back in 98.' It's so beautiful and peaceful.

Beautiful church and beautiful people
