Saint Anthony

The first Mass was held in 1909 on the feast of the Assumption, which became the parish name. In 1910, a lot was purchased and church erected. The current building (church and school) was built by architect Chester Dean. At the dedication in 1922, three thousand attended. Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinard Heim donated the house at 318 Benton, which still serves as the rectory. The church was renovated in 1967-68, a project that included new pews, new painting and work on the sanctuary. In 2006, three high altars were brought in from a closed parish in Pennsylvania. In 1990, Saint Francis Seraph, Saint John the Baptist and Assumption parishes consolidated at Assumption, which was then renamed Saint Anthony.
