The Order of St. Anthony
A CALL TO A NEW KIND OF LIVING
The Order of St. Anthony is a call to go beyond belief into a life of faithful practice.
The Order of St. Anthony is an ecumenical Order within the Diocese of St. Anthony (DOSA)
serving the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches (CEEC).
The Order is open to believers of all denominations, backgrounds, and communions.

PATRONAGE
A Dedication to St. Anthony
Patronage & Dedication
The Order of St. Anthony takes its name in honor of the “father of monasticism,” St. Anthony of Egypt, or St. Anthony the Great. While not the first monastic,
St. Anthony the Great pioneered the concept of going to remote places to practice contemplation, worship God, and fight spiritual principalities and powers.
*Additionally, the Order is indebted to the life and work of †Bishop Tony (Anthony) Palmer of the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches. Bishop Palmer was instrumental in bringing together Roman Catholic and Evangelical Christians from around the world, most notably through his relationship with His Holiness, Pope Francis, and Pentecostal leaders.
