Saint Anthony Orthodox Church was formally blessed to serve the Orthodox faithful of Butler by Metropolitan ANTONY (Bashir) in October of 1958. Since then it has endeavored to serve its people and to bring others to the Orthodox faith under the care of Metropolitan PHILIP (Saliba) and its pastors.
The community of Saint Anthony is multi-ethnic and completely pan-Orthodox, with a healthy mix of Orthodox-from-birth members as well as converts to the faith.
The mission of the Church is as it has always been:
-
to care for the people of God, to serve the community of Butler
-
to embody Christ's teachings through the careful practice of prayer, study, fasting, almsgiving and hospitality
-
to proclaim the fulness of the Orthodox faith to the city of Butler and its surrounding areas.
We hope you find this web site edifying, and we hope that you will come and worship with us!
