St. Anthony Mary Claret Catholic Church

The Claretian Missionaries began to minister to the Spanish- and English-speaking faithful in the suburban area of Fresno in 1951.

Over time improvements were made and a site was purchased that would eventually house a permanent parish.

The parish is part of the official Roman Catholic Diocese of Fresno but the parish priests are assigned and directed by the Claretian U.S.A.-Canada Province based in Chicago, IL.

The parish boasts a strong growing Hispanic community, under the current direction of Rev.
