St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church 2510 Richmond Street Northwest, Grand Rapids, MI 49504

"My aunt Margaret Snow Funeral was done very well Love in Christ"

"This religious school is suppose to teach children not only basic education but also morals and not to discriminate. But it really does just the opposite buy allowing one student to monopolise all the first readings,art prizes(which he didn't win),carrying the flag during Catholic songfest week and much more,thus not allowing other children to participate and not making events equal. This isn't just one or two local incidents. Its been going on for years,like 6 or more. Everyone knows how this one boy is favoured and they are just as upset as me. Is it possible that the parents of this boy and giving large donations to the church in exchange for favouritism. This school needs to stop being prejudice and make things equal to all children. Go to a public school where things are done fair and your child/children will get a better education."

"St. Anthony church has been a very positive and instrumental part of my faith life for the past 20+ years. Father Mark is very welcoming and makes everyone feel like family! Both of my children attend the school and my husband and I are very impressed with the academics and the faith based learning our children are receiving. If you are considering this school for your children I would highly recommend!"

"A very vibrant and spiritual community. Father Mark is a treasure who shepards his people in authentic Catholic faith formation....not always the easy path. May God continue to bless this Parish abundantly."

"I thought Catholics taught that you should treat others as you would want to be treated. Apparently not so here. Three parishioners thought like ruining the safety of all cyclists on Richmond St because they didn't know how or where to park. Instead of doing the right thing and paying the citation, they whined and whined until they had an inside source with the city have the bike lane removed. How Christian of them. St Anthony's gives Catholics a bad name. I would be ashamed to be with this parish."
