St Anthony's Church

Founded in 1952, St Anthony's Church has been a beacon of faith, love, and community in Mysuru for over seven decades. What began as a small congregation has grown into a vibrant parish family, rooted in prayer and united in service to one another and to the wider community of Gayathripuram.

Under the patronage of St Anthony of Padua — the patron of the poor and the lost — we strive to live the Gospel through our ministries, sacraments, and works of charity, carrying forward the faith entrusted to us by the generations of priests and parishioners who came before.

Our Mission: To nurture a living, dynamic faith community that welcomes every family, forms disciples of Christ, and serves the poor and marginalised with compassion and joy.

A Message from the Holy Father

The Church reminds us, with a firm yet humble voice, that true fulfilment is not achieved by eliminating weakness but through harmonious growth. It is found where freedom and responsibility are intertwined with mutual care and true solidarity, and where progress is measured by the dignity of each person and the good of all peoples.

Message from the Bishop

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

[Sample message — to be replaced with the Bishop's own words.] It is my joy to walk together with every parish of this Diocese as a missionary, pastoral, and Eucharistic community, rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I invite the faithful of St Anthony's Church to continue growing in prayer, charity, and service to one another.

May the intercession of Our Lady, Mother of the Church, accompany this parish family on its journey of faith.
