Founded in 1858, St. Anthony of Padua in Effingham is a vibrant parish of over 1300 families, blessed with many spirit-filled “intentional disciples” committed to their personal journey with Jesus. Discover the many opportunities we have to grow in our faith as we encounter the living presence of Jesus.

Saint Anthony Cemetery Expansion

Now till September 1st, Sacred Heart and St. Anthony of Padua parishes are providing the support the cemetery will need to continue it’s mission for another 1,500 souls— providing enough plots for about 38 years of burials. To make this possible, we are asking our parishioners to prayerfully consider making a donation toward our two parishes’ shared goal of $100,000.
