Who we are
Our Mission
We, the parishioners of Saint Anthony's Church, exist to continue the mission of Jesus Christ. We gather to publicly express our faith, our communion with God and with one another. Together, we will work:
to proclaim the Gospel effectively, to recognize the signs of holiness all across the parish, to deepen that holiness throughout the parish by prayer, sacrament & personal example, and to help people worship God in the best way possible.
In this task, with God's help, we hope that every member of the parish will have the opportunity to grow to the fullness of his or her Christian vocation.
Our Parish Stewardship Prayer
Gracious and Loving God, we have gathered as a community to listen to your Word, and to share in the Eucharist. May your eternal Word and the living Eucharist transform us into good stewards of your abundant blessings, and teach us to open our hearts to the needs of the Church and to the voices of the poor. Watch over us with loving care, and help our parish to grow in faith, hope and love. Fill your Church with generous hearts, that also respond to your call to the priesthood and religious life. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Prayer for Generosity
Dear Lord, Make our church a place of generositywhere people work together as a family, and share all that they are and all they have. Teach us to be as generous as You have been generous with us. Teach us that all that we have are gifts from You. And gifts, Lord, are meant to be shared. Show us the joys of generosity. Help us to understand that others depend on us for help. Remind us that our world, our parish, need “Good Samaritans” to serve the needs of our times. May all our service help build the kingdom of God, and may our obedience bring true freedom, our generosity increase love, our sacrifices bear much fruit. Amen.

St. Anthony of Padua - Our Patron Saint
St. Anthony of Padua is one of the most famous disciples of St. Francis of Assisi. He was a famous preacher and worker of miracles in his own day, and throughout the eight centuries since his death he has so generously come to the assistance of the faithful who invoke him, that he is known throughout the world.
St. Anthony was born in the year 1195 AD at Lisbon (Portugal) where his father was a captain in the royal army. Already at the age of fifteen years, he had entered the Congregation of Canons Regular of St. Augustine and devoted himself with great earnestness both to study and to the practice of piety in the Monastery at Coimbra (Portugal).
In 1227 AD, St. Anthony was elected Minister Provincial of the friars living in northern Italy. Thus he resumed the work of preaching. Due to his taxing labours and his austere penance, he soon felt his strength so spent that he prepared himself for death. After receiving the last sacraments he kept looking upward with a smile on his countenance. When he was asked what he saw there, he answered: “I see my Lord.” He breathed forth his soul on June 13, 1231 AD.
Pope Gregory IX enrolled him among the saints in the very next year. At Padua, a magnificent basilica was built in his honour, his holy relics were entombed there in 1263 AD. From the time of his death up to the present day, countless miracles have occurred through St. Anthony’s intercession, so that he is known as the Wonder-Worker. In 1946 AD, St. Anthony was declared a Doctor of the Church.

St. Anthony's Church Calgary History
St. Anthony's Parish was formed in 1953 when Calgary had a population of 180,000. Serving the Catholic community, then, at the southern limits of the city, was St. Mary's Parish. The title, "St. Anthony" was of interest because a small school by that name was already located in the aread of the proposed church. In actual fact, the proper title of the church and parish is St. Anthony of Padua, which is in distinction from other saints of that name, eg St Anthony Hermit.
On May 1, 1953, Bishop F. J. Carroll canonically established the new parish of St. Anthony to serve the residents south of 34 Avenue, with Father R. P. Sullivan appointed as the first pastor. He rallied the forces for new parishioners within the community and celebrated the first Mass on July 1, 1953, in the former St. Anthony School. Masses took place there for a few Sundays, then moved to the nearby public school, because of the large crowds.
Pastor and parishioners then formulated plans for a new combined church and hall at the present location (5340 - 4 Street SW) and construction began on September 1, 1953. With the hard work and determination of the pioneer parishioners, completion of the church became a reality on November 1, 1953, and Christmas Eve Mass took place on the main floor of the original hall.
Then on March 6, 1957, Father Sullivan established a building committee to plan for a new church. After many meetings and building fund drives, a sod-turning ceremony took place on August 1, 1959. Construction of the current St. Anthony church began on August 1, 1960. The laying of the new church's cornerstone was on December 31, 1960. Construction finally finished in 1961, along with the solemn blessing of the church. Celebration of the first Solemn High Mass took place on June 25, 1961.
During those times, St. Anthony's parish family grew from 50 to 3,600 parishioners.
