St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church
The Eucharist is the heart of the Church. Where Eucharistic life flourishes, there the life of the church will blossom.
POPE SAINT JOHN PAUL II
The Year of Parish Revival
The second phase will foster eucharistic devotion at the parish level, strengthening our liturgical life through eucharistic adoration, missions, resources, preaching, and organic movements of the Holy Spirit. These local efforts will help convert hearts and minds to fall more deeply in love with Jesus Christ, truly present in the Holy Eucharist.
As we enter The Year of Parish Revival, we encourage you to attend different Masses and events at our other parishes, St. Paul's Chapel in Fremont and St. Joseph's in LaGrange.

Parish Agape Event: Episode 1
It was during a meal with friends when Jesus took, blessed, broke and shared the Bread that the Apostles on the road to Emmaus finally recognized the Lord. You are invited to an Agape meal where you too can take, bless, break and share the goodness of the Lord with friends while learning more about the real Presence of the Lord in the Bread we share at Mass.
Monthly Eucharistic
Adoration Reflection
Every month the Lord invites us to come for an hour to thank Him for our many blessings, honor Him in all his glory, share our troubles and our joys, or simply rest in His Presence. It is an opportunity to find oneself for it is so easy to get lost in this world.

Exposition of Eucharistic Miracles
Countless miracles attributed to the Eucharist have happened around the world but most times went unnoticed until a 14-year-old tech savvy boy, Blessed Carlos Acutis dying with Leukemia took it upon himself to document and publish a record of the miracles. His exhibition which has appeared around the world, is designed to bring them to light and is guaranteed to leave us speechless and in awe of God’s greatest gift to us…himself, fully present in the Eucharist.

Catechist Spiritual Formation Day
What greater honor can one bestow than to give another the title shared by Christ himself…Teacher! All catechists are invited to come and renew the Spirit so necessary to imaging Christ to those they serve. It is an opportunity to be filled with Christ’s love and deepen their understanding of God’s greatest gift to us so they too can proudly be called teacher!

Women's Rosary, Adoration, Benediction & Fellowship
Probability is that every child raised in a Catholic household had a grandmother who prayed the Rosary. A wise woman was that grandmother for she knew the power of that prayer. Our Lady of Fatima asked the children to pray the rosary for peace in the world. A message as important today as it has been throughout history, perhaps more. Imagine the power of joining with other women for this evening of prayer, adoration and fellowship.
