Faithful Find Their Favorite Saints at St. Anthony Gift Shop
Casa Grande, AZ – The saints be with you. And they will be if you happen by the gift shop at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church.
It’s a small but well-stocked place in the church office off East Second Street. There are statues and pictures of Jesus, the Virgin Mary and any number of saints.
Ed Contreras gave me a guided tour. Contreras is the church’s business manager. He grew up in Casa Grande and is a longtime member of the church.
