Saint Anthony of Padua Churchyard

Saint Anthony of Padua Churchyard

Saint Anthony of Padua Churchyard is on Nye Street in New Bedford. It has one burial there and that is of the first priest of the Saint Anthony of Padua Church – Hormidas Deslauriers. The gravestone is surrounded by an iron fence and hence a close up of the stone is hard to obtain. Painting seen on this page was done by my grandfather Laurent Comeau.
