St. Anthony de Padua Catholic Church

St. Anthony de Padua Catholic Church The History of St. Anthony de Padua In 1911 Fr. Mary, Star of the Sea in Freeport. Fr. Elmendorf, and later Fr. Coffee, commuted from St. F.J. Today St.

Montreuil journeyed from the town of Bay City to celebrate the Eucharist for the first time in the home of Thomas Walker. He continued his practice in the homes of serveral Danbury families until 1926 when Danbury was estabilished as a mission of St. Mary's to provide Sunday masses. The first church building was erected in 1930. It was one-half of a reconstructed, discarded public school building,

but it was destroyed by a hurrricane in 1932. The parishioners quickly built another church the same year which was destroyed by fire in 1944. For the next five years the faithful continued services in a rice warehouse donated by Jack Garrett. Dobias was named the first full-time pastor in 1945 and was consecrated in the construction of a new church which was consecrated in 1949. Anthony's continues to thrive with three masses each weekend and 350 registered families.
