WELCOME TO ST. ANTHONY'S CROATIAN CATHOLIC CHURCH |
St. Anthony Croatian Catholic Parish is a community of faith and love, graced with a revered ethnic heritage.
We share our Catholic faith with other parish communities that constitute the larger local Church of Los Angeles. With them we are devoted to a common Church mission, which is to witness the presence of God in our world and to advance the civilization of love.
At the same time, we are a distinct ethnic community. The Croatian Christian heritage is fourteen centuries old. We cherish such a legacy and are indebted to preserve our rich Croatian culture, traditions, customs, values and language for future generations.
In regard to this specific character of our parish community, our primary goal is to enhance efficient interaction of faith and culture. Therefore, we commit ourselves to promoting the cultural adaptation of liturgy. Also, in order to invigorate dynamics of evangelization we are committed to contextualize all pastoral, catechetical, social and cultural activities in the parish. |

MESSAGE BY THE PC CHAIRMAN
"As many of you witnessed and others heard or saw through social media, our Croatian Church was vandal- ized this past week. Rest assured that the proper authori- ties have been notified and are working with San Pedro Croatian Hall Officers, who were vandalized in a similar fashion, and have a video of the alleged perpetrator. In addition, we are activating the alarm system, in- stalling updated video surveillance, improving perimeter lighting and taking other precautionary measures. We are praying and working with law enforcement authori- ties to apprehend and punish the culprits for this heinous crime."
Vjeko Kosor, Parish Council Chairman

Stogodišnjica hrvatske župe sv. Ante
|
Stogodišnjica hrvatske župe sv. Ante u Los Angelesu obilježena je u subotu 11. prosinca, 2010., na isti dan kada je 11. prosinca 1910. godine biskup Thomas Conaty posvetio župsku crkvu. Osnivatelj župe i prvi župnik je bio don Anton Žuvić iz Luke na Dugom Otoku. Stogodišnjica je obilježena gala banketom i svečanim prigodnim programom.
Suslavitelji jubilarne Euharistije su bili župnik don Mate, bivši župnici don Srećko i don Janko, svećenička “mladica” iz naše župe vlč. Richard Charbel Grbavac, hrvatski misionar pri župi Mary Star u San Pedru o. Ivan Gerovac te fra Ljubo Krasić iz Franjevačke Kustodije u Chicagu.

Since July 1st Fr. Goran is officially our new administrator. These days he has successfully finished his summer course in Canon Law at the Catholic University in Washington D.C. That is his first of five courses that he is undertaking with the assistance of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. This week he is taking his leave to his home- land to celebrate his 10 years anniversary of his ordina- tion and at the same time promotion of his doctorate. He is expected back to St. Anthony with his mom before the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in August 15. On Sunday, August 17 he will celebrate with us his 10th year of priesthood and promotion of his doctorate at our Croatian Mass at 10:30. We welcome Fr. Goran to our parish and to his new office and congratulate him on his achievements. Our PC and FC will be reelected.

The objective is to ensure that each student develops a firm foundation of our Croatian heritage, nurtured through a distinctive base of knowledge.
