The New Beginning for St. Anthony
After being closed for 4 years, 2006-2010, St. Anthony re-opened again on the 1st. Advent in 2010. The Ecumenical Catholic Church of Christ took charge of this new project. We praise God for giving us the Grace! We are forever grateful to all dedicated volunteers and generous contractors who did all the repairs, renovations, and innovations! The opening of the Clothes and Food Pantry in 2010 has developed into the best outreach for the poor in this area ever. We are providing basic necessities of clothes, food, hygienes, including furniture, kitchenware, household items, and social services. Since the opening, it has reached over 10,000 people.
St. Anthony is dedicated to all people of good will who seek a loving God. The Spirit of Saints: Anthony, Clare, and Francis are alive!
The list shows the repairs, renovations, and innovations since 2010. Many projects have been done since then, the new Grotto dedicated our Lady of Lourdes, the total overhaul of the Clothes and Food Pantry, roof repairs, pipes repairs, flooring, walls, etc. etc.
Below are only some pictures showing of the many repairs and ongoing renovations that have been done since 2010.
PS: A few pictures that were taking in 2010 with an old Nokia phone after the Church's takeover are not so good in quality. We could not find a transmitter to download pictures. The rest of the pictures are good!
