St. Anthony's Lithuanian Roman Catholic Church was built in 1894 to serve the growing immigrant population from Lithuania.
My Dad Frank Paukstis (1st row, 6th from the left) was a member of the 1926 First Communion Class
His certificate below lists his Lithuanian name - Pranas

I took these pictures in 1999 when I learned that St. Anthony's was going to be demolished along with several other Catholic churches in Forest City. The town in which 5 Roman Catholic churches once served separate immigrant populations now has one parish (Ascension) located in the former Slovenian Church (St. Joseph's)
