Welcome to St. Anthony of Padua Church

in Shirley

We are a small rural church dedicated to the Gospel of Jesus Christ as

lived out in the Community of the Catholic Church. We are committed to prayer and action so that the Gospel will be alive in our hearts and in our lives.

Our prayer life centers on the Eucharistic Celebration calling all together as brothers and sisters in the Lord to praise God in the Real Presence.

Our action encourages us to bring the love and peace of Jesus to all who are in need. We have hospital outreach Ministries, home visitation, adult education, RCIA, monthly support of Loaves and Fishes (the area food bank), Religious Education for the children, a beautiful choir, a lovely church filled with faith, hope, love and laughter and the greatest gift of all, a wonderful congregation.

You are welcome to join us at any time. If I can be of service to you, please let me know.

God bless you today and always

Father D.

Rev. Edmond M. Derosier, Pastor
