Centennial Commemorative Book

Centennial Commemorative Book

We invite you to reserve a copy of the St. Anthony's Centennial Commemoration book.

This approximately 50 page soft-cover book includes the history of the parish chronicled in words and photographs. There are also many wonderful pictures of parish events throughout the years. We will add photos of all of the Centennial week celebrations. The book will be ready to purchase later this year.

The $20 cost of the book can be paid by cash or cheque when you pick up your book.

Reserve your copy of this special book on the sheets located in the vestibule or by calling the parish office. This will ensure you receive a copy and will assist us in determining how many copies we need to print.
