St. Anthony's Revival Begins Historic Year

Byron Wilson and his 2-year-old son Byron II attend the final night of a three-night revival at St. Anthony of Padua Church, Atlanta. The revival held June 23-25 kicks off a year of activities leading up to the parish centennial anniversary. The first Mass in the parish was celebrated June 13, 1903 and it was officially established in September 1903.

St. Anthony's Youth Choir members (l-r) Dominique Lambert, Raquel Guice and Taylor Swain help lead praise and worship during a revival at the parish in Atlanta's West End. The third night of the revival was dedicated to youth.

Father Roy Lee preaches on youth night of the revival with a message relevant to both parents and children. The theme of the revival was "We've Come This Far by Faith."

Members of the St. Anthony Triumphant Voices young adult choir sing "In the Sanctuary" prior to the revival sermon.
