2 - Is the school still
open? |
| A. |
The school remained open, but not
always as St. Anthony High School. In 1969, St.
Anthony High School consolidated with Nativity,
St. Charles and St. Catherine to form East
Catholic High School. East Catholic closed its
doors for the last time around 2004.

The Convent and Grade School are
gone, but St. Anthony Parish celebrated its 143rd
anniversary in 2000. The church has been declared
a Michigan Historic Site. Read about it. In June 2006, St.
Anthony Parish consolidated with Annunciation/Our
Lady of Sorrows to form Good Shepherd Parish
which is located at 1265 Parkview, the former site of
Annunciation/OLS.

| Q. |
4 - Who sponsored the Annual
Dinner Dances? |
| A. |
The St. Anthony Alumni & Friends
Dinner Dances were sponsored by St. Anthony
Parish as a fund raiser. They were held in
February each year beginning in 1992 and later
moved to October. The Parish encouraged grads
from St. Anthony and East Catholic to use the
occasion for their school reunions. Tables were
arranged so that an entire class was seated
together. Ad and Ticket Forms were available on
this site as soon as the Parish office made them
available. Although the Dinner Dances are no
longer held, the tradition of inviting grads and
former parishioners to attend the St. Anthony
Feast Day activities continues at Good Shepherd
Parish, 1265 Parkview. This event is usually held
on the second Sunday of June, the Sunday closest
to St. Anthony's Feast Day (June 13).
