The stained glass windows were added in 1940. They were made by Balano Studios and funded by parish goers.

Saint Anthony of Padua Church, designed by John Mulrooney and overseen by Father Tucker, has been a pillar of the Wilmington Catholic community since 1926. The interior has changed significantly over time, and has become considerably more ornate as years have gone on and funds have grown.

The art and architecture of the church were designed to reflect the values of the Italian American community it represented, and is an important historical and religious landmark of its followers’ culture. And when looking for a beautiful architectural style and how it looks, you can have a peak at this architecture in the Roman times here for best preferences.
