Diocese of Des Moines Catholic Schools

Today, June 13, we celebrate the Feast Day of St. Anthony of Padua! While many know him as the patron saint of lost things, he was also a brilliant teacher, a gifted preacher, and a Doctor of the Church who dedicated his life to sharing the truth and beauty of the Gospel.

His legacy of wisdom, faith, and teaching is alive and well in the Diocese of Des Moines, especially at St. Anthony Catholic School. We are so proud of how our students and educators at St. Anthony embody his spirit every day by pursuing academic excellence and living out the Gospel with love.

On his feast day, we pray that St. Anthony continues to guide and inspire all of our diocesan schools, helping our students find their unique, God-given purpose. Happy Feast Day, St. Anthony community!
