THE ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA PARISH TOWN HALL MEETING

The Parish Town Hall Meeting is our annual general assembly, kind of like a shareholders meeting or a local caucus. It is a chance for the whole parish to hear what's going on, to contribute ideas, to make constructive criticism and to ask critical questions, an opportunity for the leadership of the parish to account for their stewardship, and a time for everyone to affect our common future. You definitely do not want to miss this!

Between 2005 and 2010, St. Anthony's Parish worked out and approved an ambitious building project for our growing, vibrant community. The plan, approved by the parishioners and by the bishop's office, had three phases.
  • Phase I was the construction and dedication of our new church, completed in 2010.
  • Phase II was the building of a connector annex between the church and the parish center, completed in 2012.
  • Phase III is to be the final disposition of the original church building of 1941, of the old church building of 1959 and of the parish center of 1986.
At the end of 2016, a special "ad hoc" steering committee was appointed to review plans for Phase III. By the end of 2017, that committee's work will come to an end and Fr. Bob will appoint a new building project committee and a fund raising committee, in keeping with diocesan guidelines. The steering committee publishes its reports here.

Remember - you can always write to the Pastoral Council about this or any other topic using the e-mail address

pastoralcouncil@stanthonyangola.com

Any letter to that address is automatically forwarded to all members of the council. Any letter concerning the building project, we will also forward to the members of the Steering Committee.
