MEETINGS. In-person gatherings St. Anthony of Padua Church are permitted although some groups have found virtual meetings preferable. Check with organization leadership. We will make every effort to share resources with you to stay connected to your fellow parishioners.

Please add this prayer – Prayer during the Coronavirus Crisis – to your spiritual toolkit. You may find it helpful to print and put it in your prayer corner.

RESOURCES. There are many resources to help fill your spiritual needs. Father Vic and members of the parish are working to provide those to you. Here is a list of Atlanta area parishes providing online streaming or broadcasting to view Sunday Mass.

If someone asks why your church chose to respond to this health crisis by limited gatherings with social distance and mask requirements, you might respond:

  1. We are loving our neighbors by protecting our neighbors.
  2. We are not being fearful. We are being responsible.
  3. This is what love requires of us in this season.
  4. The church is under renovations until early 2022.
