Title
St. Anthony Parish
Description
For the early St. Anthony Parish, Taylor Mill, the railroad was as much responsible for increasing parish enrollment as it did in decreasing it. The congregation began informally in the 1860s by two groups of “isolated Catholics” — the Irish Catholics who worked for Kentucky Central Railroad, who began settling around Spring Lake, Kentucky (near Locust Pike) and the German Catholics settling along DeCoursey Turnpike and Taylor Mill Road.
St. Anthony Parish is dedicated to the patronage of St. Anthony the Abbot (251-c.356), also known as St. Anthony of Egypt. He is considered to be the founder of Christian monasticism. He was born in Coma, Egypt to wealthy parents.
