Our Mission Statement
As the Catholic family of St. Anthony of Padua, united in faith and nourished regularly by God’s Word and Sacrament, our mission is to give witness to God’s presence by acting justly, loving tenderly, and walking humbly with our God. (Micah 6:8.) We commit ourselves, through common prayer and worship, to mutual support, love and respect; to allocate 10% of our regular Sunday offering to “St. Anthony Bread” (our parish outreach ministry) and to maintain a county food pantry and be available and ready to assist all who find themselves victims of an emergency or an injustice.
“Act justly, love tenderly, and walk humbly with your God.”

NEW CATHOLICS
We welcome new members to our church as we join in a prayerful journey of faith together. R.C.I.A. (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) begins in the fall, leading to entry in the church at Easter. Please contact Fr. Dennis Kress after Mass or call 543-3412 St. Elizabeth’s, Elizabethton
COMMUNION
Receiving Holy Communion is the celebration of unity in faith with the conviction that the “bread” is truly the body and blood of Christ. It is appropriate that only those who are actively practicing Catholics should receive.
MARRIAGE
Diocesan norms specify four months of preparation including an Engaged Encounter. Contact pastor before you set a date.
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
CCD classes are finished for the 2021-2022 school year. First Communion will be on Sunday, May 15th, during Mass. There will be a potluck luncheon following Mass to celebrate. We hope you have a wonderful summer and look forward to seeing everyone back in classes in September!

ANNOUNCEMENTS AND INFORMATION
- Holy Hour
Each Thursday from 6-7pm, the Church will be open for quiet prayer before Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. There is no formal prayer, so come any time during that hour and stay as long as you can. - Holy Water Font is located at the back corner by the confessional.
- Holy Rosary - The rosary will continue before Mass (starting at 10:30) during the months of April and May. Please respect those who are participating and enter the church quietly.
- Gift Shop will be open this Sunday after Mass. We are selling commemorative mugs, marking Twenty-five years plus, of St Anthony of Padua Catholic Church here in Mountain City. Cost is fifteen dollars. Please support the Women's Group by making a purchase today.
- Coffee fellowship - Sunday, after Mass, we will be sharing coffee, other beverages, and treats. If you would like to volunteer, please contact:
- Please pray for people of the parish who need our prayers: especially for the repose of the soul of Barbara Henson’s mother Helen Barnes, Shirley Larson Moore, Rudy and Joann Stollenmaier, Piper Strong King, Wayne Martin, Keith Mullens, Rosemary Anderson, George Simon, Charlotte Malone, Keith Estevens, and there may be others.
- Attention: Only authorized persons are allowed to adjust the thermostats in the Church. See Tony. Thank you!
- Attention: Those having a festivity here must clean up and leave it the way you found it.
- Notice: Per the Diocese rules – Children under the age of 10 must be accompanied by an adult when using the bathrooms.
- Emergency Assistance Program: St. Anthony Bread, our parish outreach ministry, added a new program in January to help those in our community who are experiencing financial struggles. We received a grant from St. Mary’s Legacy Foundation that allowed us to establish the Emergency Assistance Program which helps with utility bills. This program has filled a gap in our community for people who need a one-time assist with their utility bills. The need for this program goes beyond the money that is provided by the grant, but we have received assistance from our Knights of Columbus and from a few private donations. The need for this program in Johnson County is great and we hope to continue it throughout 2021 and 2022 and beyond. As members of St. Anthony of Padua parish, we are all contributors to this and all programs that SAB offers. Thank you for your continued support – St. Anthony’s is making a difference in Johnson County.
- Update on AED/CPR training: Our date for training is Saturday AM, August 6, 2022, at the Crewette Building. If, they have a cancellation for a sooner date, they will offer us first choice. I will post the exact times as soon as I talk with Mr. Gentry.
- Weekly Bible Study Bible Study will be Wednesday at 4:00 PM at church and on zoom. 352-046-7966 Password 141403 Come to the following Sunday mass with a deeper understanding of the readings. Contact: Marie-Jo 561-901-4322
