St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church

About this church

St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church celebrates a 4 p.m. Vigil Mass Saturday and Sunday Masses at 8 and 10 a.m. at 316 Fifth Street in Fairport Harbor. Saturday Confession is available from 3 to 3:45. The parish describes itself as a welcoming Catholic family called to proclaim Christ through worship, education, evangelism, love, and service. Prayer may be public or private, spoken or silent, with the Psalms understood as prayers sung by the church.

St. Anthony's became a Diocese of Cleveland mission parish in 1887, when Mass was still celebrated in private homes; land for a church was approved in 1898 as the local Catholic community grew. Today's ecumenical food pantry provides groceries to Fairport Harbor neighbors. Music ministry welcomes singers at varied experience levels, while lectors, Communion ministers, cross bearers, and other volunteers support Mass and care for sick or homebound people. Parish religious education meets from 11 a.m. to 12:15 Sunday from September through May. Youth group serves grades six through twelve or ages twelve through eighteen through spiritual, social, and service activities, with scheduled evening meetings announced by the parish. Families can choose either Sunday Mass and pair 10 a.m. worship with the later education hour. For Saturday Reconciliation, arrive between 3 and 3:45 p.m. and remain for the 4 p.m. Vigil Mass if desired.
