History
Located on the Midland Trail south of Charleston, St. Anthony Parish was founded in 1928 as a mission of Immaculate Conception Parish, Montgomery, to serve the Italian immigrant community drawn to Boomer Hollow by the railroad and coal mines. It was rededicated as a shrine in 1953, when the cornerstone for the second church was laid.
