Saint Anthony Church

What Saint Anthony Church does

St. Anthony of Padua Church is a Catholic parish founded in 1921 and located at 3305 Glen Carlyn Rd., Falls Church, Virginia, operating under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Diocese of Arlington since 1989. The parish serves a culturally diverse, bilingual (English and Spanish) Catholic congregation in Northern Virginia, offering daily and Sunday Mass in multiple languages, the seven sacraments (Baptism, Confirmation, Matrimony, Anointing of the Sick, Reconciliation, Eucharist, and Funeral rites), weekly Eucharistic Adoration, and sacramental preparation programs. It operates St. Anthony of Padua School (K-8) as a wholly-owned subsidiary at 3301 Glen Carlyn Rd., along with K-12 faith formation in English and Spanish, OCIA for adult converts, and a Teen Center and Contigo Youth Club afterschool/summer programming.

The parish's revenue model is donation-driven, consisting primarily of recurring parish offertory donations supplemented by online giving through Faith Direct/ParishSoft, tiered religious education registration fees ($100-$250 per family, annual), youth program fees (Contigo Youth Club at $100/month, Camp Contigo at $800 per season), ESL class registration ($50), and corporate food donations from BJ's, Panera, Target, and Trader Joe's for the on-site food pantry. Non-liturgical social ministries include the food pantry (operating 2 days/week), the Haiti Committee supporting a 350-student school in Gros Marin, Haiti since 1994, and community education in ESL. Marketing channels are predominantly organic: a weekly electronic bulletin (Padua Postings), Facebook livestream, Instagram, and the parish website.

The underlying technology stack is non-proprietary and minimal: standard SaaS tools for donations (Faith Direct, ParishSoft), communications (Flocknote), bulletin publishing (JPPC), digital content (FORMED), and room reservations (MassIntentions.com). Operational governance flows through the Diocese of Arlington, with mandatory child protection compliance (VIRTUS training) and alignment with diocesan policies. The parish was recognized among the '300 Excellent Parishes in the U.S.' in 2000. Current leadership includes Pastor Rev. Matthew Zuberbueler (2017-present), three Parochial Vicars, and a 19-person staff.
