      Our Lord and Salvation
      Join us and experience God's love.
    • Welcome
      We are a growing Catholic Community serving Wylie, Texas with more than 2,500 registered households.  We encourage you to look around on our website. St. Anthony's has a lot to offer Catholic families, including: Faith Formation, Ministries and Organizations, Fellowship and Opportunities to serve.
       

      Join us for an evening Mass at 5:30pm, Sundays. The youth will serve as Eucharist Ministers, Ushers, and Lector’s.  We hope that this Mass will alleviate the crowded conditions  at 10:30am Mass that occurs during the school year.
       
      Thank you,
      Father Andrew Semler, Pastor

    • Adult Confirmation Class
      ADULT CONFIRMATION CLASS  Bishop Kevin Farrell has extended permission for pastors to confirm adults in their parishes on Pentecost Sunday, May 19, 2013. St. Anthony Catholic Church, through Bishop Farrell, invites our practicing adult Catholics who lack the Sacrament of Confirmation to be sealed with the fullness of the gift of the Holy Spirit.   
      Those seeking Confirmation must attend three classes that will cover the four pillars of the Catholic Faith: the Creed, the liturgy and the sacraments, the moral life, and Christian prayer.

Their goal is to engender in their students an understanding of their role as members of the Catholic faith community through a strong academic program that incorporates worship, study and service.
