St Anthony Catholic Church

Actually go there frequently it's my home Parish

Fits well into the area it's in. Reminds me of a place in Ft. Lauderdale that was surrounded in other communities by fancier building congregations, it was self called the manger. They got more done for the community etc. Than the fancier places, meaning if you wanted to serve etc. It was a better place. To me this is a description of St. Anthony's.

Great Catholic parish. (Full disclosure - I started as a parishioner and volunteer, now I also work there.) "All are welcome" is our motto, and how we live and worship. Very active in community programs, large and active Alaska Native, Samoan and Filipino communities. Second oldest Catholic parish in Anchorage. A true blessing, we celebrate God's love and the Gospel message of mercy and salvation (sorry, if you want hellfire and brimstone, you'll want to look elsewhere!)

What a warm and welcoming church. There are spectacular wood carvings hanging in front and the back of the church wall, that we're hand carved and finished, by one of the parishioners. The end of the Mass was particularly heart warming, when the visitors (like us), people celebrating birthdays and the like, were invited to the front of the congregation, who then sang a beautiful prayer for our safe journey and any special occasion that anyone had. Really touched our 💓, thank you.
