We are a Catholic community located on the north side of Lakeland, Florida. We are a parish within the Diocese of Orlando, Florida.
In the words of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI who said, "the Holy Spirit rebuilds the bridge of true communication between heaven and earth," we at St. Anthony Catholic Church are here to help each other cross that bridge. We are a missionary church, Catholic in nature, called to be missionaries to the world and to one another.
More so than any building, program, or even teaching, the church witnesses the presence of Christ to the world through its people. St. Anthony Catholic Church is abunantly blessed in this regard.
Our Mission Statement is a simple but powerful one, and it reflects the mission that Jesus gave to his church:
Love God Love Others Make Disciples
