Welcome to St. Anthony's

Welcome to my community of Faith in Mendocino. St. Anthony's was established in the mid nineteen fifties, and has been active ever since, even though fire has destroyed the building more than once. The most recent fire was in 1990. Coming to St. Anthony's reminds me of my home-St. Anne's Chapel in Raymond. 

This beautiful stained glass depicts a fisherman casting his nets.....
And another showing the whales as they reach for the sky.
A local artist painted the backdrop for the alter.. It's very life-like.
And, here's the exterior on a typical day on the coast...

I love the mural behind the altar, it's beautiful.
