HISTORY OF ST. ANTHONY CHURCH
​
Mission Statement
We, the Church of St. Anthony, are a faith community in the Roman Catholic tradition. We gather together to bear witness to our beliefs. We are accepting of all, united in our diversity and serve each other in the caring spirit of social justice and friendship. Our liturgies reflect and enhance our faith. We desire to share our Christian values through active participation in our faith community and by reaching out to those in need.
Our Earliest
Religious Services
in the town of Tolt, now Carnation, were being conducted in residents' homes by itinerant clergymen. During the early 1880s, Roman Catholic religious services began with a traveling priest who also made stops in Monroe, Duvall, Snoqualmie and Issaquah. The first Catholic religious mass and baptism took place in
Tolt on May 20, 1891.
