Events Committee
The purpose of this committee is to plan and coordinate several annual events that bring our
parish families and community together. All Catholic parishes used to be the center of social activities in people’s lives. Today we are pulled in so many directions, it’s nice to have some great church functions to keep us grounded in our parish community. Events include Annual Feast of Saint Anthony Festival, Trunk-or-Treat, Easter Egg Hunt, and seasonal gatherings.
Saint Anthony Gift Shop
The Saint Anthony Gift Shop has been here for several years and we have a growing reputation as a quality outlet for Catholic books and gifts. We also carry many fine Christian gifts such as jewelry, home décor, sacrament gifts, and more. With volunteer help, we are open from 9-12 Wednesday through Friday, 3 pm - 5:30 pm Saturday, 9 am - 11:30 am Sunday. Working in the Gift Shop is a great way to learn more about your faith as you become familiar with the different gifts, prayer, and reading resources.
Saint Anthony Council of Catholic Women
Part of the Orlando Diocese Council of Catholic Women, the Saint Anthony Council is made up of ladies from our parish aged 18 and older who provide service and spiritual support to our parish and the extended community. The council has monthly business meetings, which also provide time for refreshments and socializing. Throughout the year we hold fundraisers and we sponsor the Annual Dove Tree collection during Advent when we collect items for families and the elderly.
Knights of Columbus Council 11651
Saint Anthony parish has its own Knights of Columbus council. They have business meetings on the fourth Monday of each month. The Knights host regular Fish Fry events, including weekly Lenten Fish Fry nights during Lent. The Knights also financially support the parish with funding for special projects and scholarships.
