St. Anthony Parish Center Logo Description

The logo of the St. Anthony Parish Center is a thoughtful expression of faith, heritage, and community, visually capturing the enduring mission and rich history of the parish.


At its center stands a prominent cross, inspired by the traditional Celtic form. This design not only symbolizes Jesus Christ and the foundation of the Catholic faith, but also serves as a meaningful tribute to the generations of Irish Catholic pastors and priests who have faithfully served St. Anthony Parish. As Broward County’s first Catholic church and the third oldest Catholic parish in South Florida, founded in 1921, this element honors a legacy of spiritual leadership, devotion, and cultural heritage that continues to shape the parish today.

Encircling the design is a graceful arc, representing the welcoming embrace of the Church. This element conveys unity, protection, and a profound sense of belonging, illustrating how the parish gathers its people together under the guidance and love of Christ.


Beneath the cross is a stylized community of individuals, symbolizing the diverse and vibrant body of parishioners who call St. Anthony home. While rooted in a proud Irish Catholic heritage, the parish today reflects the beauty of the universal Church, embracing a rich tapestry of cultures and nationalities. This imagery represents a community united across generations, backgrounds, and traditions—coming together as one in worship, fellowship, and service.

Rendered in a rich blue tone, the logo conveys stability, trust, and devotion, while also honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary, a central figure in Catholic tradition.

Together, these elements form a powerful visual identity: a faith-centered community rooted in tradition, enriched by a proud heritage, and joyfully united in its diversity under the cross as it continues to grow in faith and service.

Dear St. Anthony Family,

St. Anthony now has a site plan for a new 17,000 square foot Parish Center that will provide much

needed space for our parishioners, students, and community. The plan is a total transformation of the

property east of the church. The initiative involves removing five old buildings and constructing a two-

story building with six large meeting spaces, grand event space, large kitchen with walk-in freezer,

refreshment bar, scenic balcony, gallery and more. The project includes 50 parking spaces that will

provide convenient access to the Center and Church.

The future Center is where amazing things will happen! People of all ages will learn, laugh, listen, love and much more. Never has St. Anthony had a facility like it. It’s truly going to be a place for all.
