St. Anthony of Padua is one of the most loved saints of the Catholic Church. He was canonized one year after his death. He died on June 13, 1231. His feast day is June 13. Many ask him to pray to God for them to find lost items. Three hundred years after his death, his body was exhumed and, miraculously, his tongue was found to be incorrupt.

Welcome to the website of St. Anthony Parish. The spirit of the great Saint from Padua permeates our parish as we attempt to follow with him in the spirit of Jesus, Savior and Lord of our lives.
Founded in 1906 to serve the ever growing influx of Italian immigrants to the Southside of Des Moines, St. Anthony’s now comprises some seventeen hundred families of a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, while continuing to recognize its historic identity as an Italian parish.
A multitude of ministries are offered here as we together attempt to build a vibrant parochial life. Our Catholic School serves as another fundamental building block of our identity. We create within its walls a Catholic culture, providing excellence in academics as well as a spirituality which helps equip our youngsters with the tools to be committed Catholic adults.
You will find on this website information about our ministries, programs, people, events, and much more. Be sure to secure an account for personalization by clicking on the "Create an Account" link located directly left of this paragraph under "Your Account".
St. Anthony parish, grounded in our Catholic tradition, but ever open to the promptings of the Holy Spirit to build for a more glorious future, welcomes you.
God’s Blessing to you.

St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints, your love for God and charity for his creatures, made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety.
Encouraged by this thought, I ask you to obtain for me the favors that I seek (mention your request here).
The answer to my prayer may require a miracle, even so, you are the Saint of Miracles.
O gentle and loving St. Anthony, whose heart was full of sympathy, whisper my petition into the ears of the Infant Jesus, who loved to be held in your arms; and the gratitude of my heart will ever by yours.
Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you.
