St. Anthony of Padua

St. Anthony of Padua Parish - Butler, NJ
Mission Statement

Saint Anthony of Padua Parish is a unique Catholic Christian community rooted in the Franciscan tradition of partnering in ministry. Through Baptism we are committed to be a living sign of the presence of Jesus Christ in Word and Sacrament. We appreciate being called and sent to live life gratefully by proclaiming the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We worship and witness in an atmosphere of hospitality and diversity of ethnicity, language, and sexual orientation. By our service and sense of community we endorse solidarity with marginalized and are dedicated to peace, justice, and integrity of creation.

The theme of this year's Diocesan Ministries Appeal is
"I Have Called You By Name." The Lord knows us so well and, through His grace, He prompts us to love others in the same way He loves us. Your support and response to the Diocesan Ministries Appeal is a tangible example of how we can help our neighbors, especially those who are in need.
