St. Anthony's Church

Story

St. Anthony of Padua is a Roman Catholic church at 427 Booth Street in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, in the heart of Little Italy.HistoryFounded in 1908, the first church was a small chapel, but burnt down in 1913. Another church, designed by Guido Nincheri, was erected in 1913 to replace it. This structure was completed in 1925, however it was severely damaged by a fire just four years later. It was again rebuilt, this time with very little wood.The church has long been the social centre of the Italian-Canadian community in Ottawa. Across the street is St. Anthony's School, a Catholic elementary school. The church is also the base for the St. Anthony Italia Soccer Club, one of Ottawa's most competitive amateur soccer teams. In front of the church is Piazza Dante where major social events are held. The largest of these is Italian Week, which attracts several thousand people and occurs every June beginning with the Feast of St. Anthony.

St Anthonys Church is beautiful. With a grand entrance right from the street up, the fact that its more than a 100 years old, and simply the architecturally look makes it a wow in my books. I may be a little bias because I was baptized here, but regardless it is a really great church. I recommend going to service yourself (Saturday and Sundays @ 5....also with confession before hand Saturdays @ 4:30).

Don't usually review churches but we went in June for the Italian week, and this church organized a beautiful outdoor mass on the steps and street (which was closed to traffic) and then a procession (~parade) around Little Italy. As we got back, a priest who lives there saw us, with our 3 little kids, hot and hungry. We went inside the church to visit and cool down, and the priest brought us cake and cookies and cups of ice water! Seriously, how nice was he?? The Mass we attended was in Italian, and it was celebrated with a lot of care and attention to detail. Seems like a great parish.

Not impressed with the lecture the priest gave to my friends at their wedding ceremony.
