Marian Guild

Open to all registered women of the parish, 18 years and older. The group helps maintain and furnish the church’s interior, fosters a spirit of mutual kindness, and promotes the spiritual well-being of each member. Meetings are held from September through May in the Parish Social Hall.

The Marian Guild supports vocations and offers scholarships to deserving young men and women preparing for the priesthood and religious life. If you are interested in joining, you can contact the Parish Office at 440-288-0106.

Serving Others

Serving others is central to our faith. Through ministries like the St. Vincent de Paul Society, our parish lives out Christ’s call to care for those in need—strengthening our community and deepening our mission of love and service.

St. Vincent DePaul Society

The St. Vincent de Paul Society at St. Anthony of Padua Parish is a compassionate outreach ministry dedicated to serving individuals and families facing hardship in our community.

Through the continued generosity of parish members and volunteers, we provide support such as food, clothing, and basic necessities to help our neighbors navigate difficult times with dignity and hope.
