Whether you are here as a guest, have come for a visit or are looking to stay, we invite you to spend time with us. We believe committing to engagement with one another is deeply authentic and reflects the very nature of what it means to be a living, growing faith community. We invite you to join us for a reason, a season or a lifetime as we Worship, Connect, Pray and Give. As an inclusive Episcopal church on Shea Boulevard, we welcome all to experience God’s love in a supportive place of timeless worship, authentic connection, and lifelong joy.
What We Believe
In the Episcopal Church, we know that every journey toward God is unique and highly personal. You won’t be forced to think a certain way or “get in line” with everyone else. In fact, you’re welcome to bring your questions, doubts, hopes and dreams with you. At Saint Anthony on the Desert we Worship, Connect, Pray and Give on our corner of the Kingdom of God at 130th and Shea. We welcome you to join us on the way.
Worship
There are many ways we Worship. We believe how we pray shapes what we believe. We gather, as a community, three times a week for a celebration of what you may know as “Holy Communion,” “Holy Eucharist,” the “Great Thanksgiving” or the “Mass.” You’re welcome to one or all. We gather at other times to pray together.
Connect
There are many ways we Connect. Saint Anthony on the Desert is a faith community for all generations. It is a special place where we believe faith is best lived in community—where every generation is valued and every voice matters. From Tony’s Tots, to our Tony’s Tykes, Tweens and Teens groups, and from our young adult gatherings to our cherished Seasoned Saints, we are church and we grow together.
Pray
There are many ways we Pray. We offer a wide range of care ministries dedicated to individuals and families through every season of life, and we are here to share Christ’s love through presence, compassion and community. Whether you are in need or you need to offer your empathy and understanding through support of our ministries, there is a place for you in this vital ministry.
Give
There are many ways we Give. Everything we have is from God who blesses our lives every day. We thank God by giving back to the world in which we live. We support the lives of our neighbors; not-for-profit partner organizations throughout the valley and other charitable groups around the world. Please consider how God has blessed you as you consider offering your thanks by making a financial donation.

International Relationships
Sainte Croix Episcopal Church
Our relationship with the Ste Croix Episcopal Church, School and Hospital began in 2011 when one of St. Anthony's members traveled to Leogane to volunteer as Guesthouse Manager at the hospital. Since that time St. Anthony has supported the school with funding for improvements after the earthquake and also by three biennial mission trips by a volunteer team to rebuild and refurbish the school facilities. Over-the-counter drug collections have been taken to replenish basic necessities for the hospital pharmacy. Computers were provided for the new computer lab that St. Anthony funded. The friendships between the people of Ste Croix and St. Anthony have endured throughout the years.
