The Glorious St. Anthony's of Padua Church in Milwaukee


The pictures are a bit blurry, but these were the best out of many.
To the left of the statue of Jesus with lilies is the baptismal font, an antique from the late 1800's, with beautiful carving and a statue of St John the Baptist baptizing Our Lord within.


My great- grandparents, Charles Fischer and Philomena Kihm, were married here as it was the "German" Church.
The church has a gazillion statues and they get changed around constantly.
The Right Side Altar. The Left Side Altar.
We get to receive while kneeling.
The Pulpit.

The Usher.

Super pretty pictures! What a beautiful place! It looks very similar to our historic church (but ours is much smaller scaled) which was also a "German church"!
