    Saint Anthonys is my neighborhood church; I have lived on Thompson Street and Bleaker Streets for 41 years; Saint Anthonys is my go to church.. I am especially blessed that Franciscan Friars run this church; I was taught by Sacred Heart brothers, who had nothing but praise and respect for the Franciscans, in fact the Franciscan order was often a topic for discussion at retreats. This is a church that I can especially respect.
