 In 1939 , Mrs. Angela Costanza Bongiovanni , along with the help of Monsignor Fuso , founded the Saint Anthony Guild . At that time , 32 women joined Mrs. Bongiovanni 's new guild . The mission of the guild was to serve the special needs of the parish and to help the poor and disadvantaged in the area . Also , the guild volunteered its time and effort at the St. Anthony Orphanage in Oakmont , hence the name " Saint Anthony Guild . " All the members of the Saint Anthony Guild are women and they strive to provide their group with fellowship and spiritual renewal through the help the bestow on the church and community .
