Special message from Bishop Malesic regarding this weekend's (Jan 24/25th) storms:
In view of the snow storm forecast for this weekend various areas in our diocese will be affected differently depending on the timing of this event. Let me remind you that no one is obligated to attend Mass when it is too dangerous to do so. In such cases the Sunday Mass obligation is lifted automatically. Those who are unable to attend Mass safely should find another way to honor the sabbath, perhaps praying a Rosary, meditating on the Sunday readings, or praying the Liturgy of the Hours. Also, be mindful that some of our priests who live at a distance from a Church, may not be able to safely travel there for the celebration of Holy Mass. If possible, please consult any posted changes to the Mass schedule for this Sunday.
Welcome To The Table of the Lord!
Welcome to St. Anthony of Padua Parish in Akron, Ohio. The church is more than brick and mortar, it is more than walls, windows, and a roof. The church is the faithful that come to worship our Lord in mysteries made present in the Holy Mass. We hope that you will find this website beneficial as you build your faith and grow your love of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
