The Heavenly Dusters Ministry consists of five groups of volunteers who enhance the beauty and cleanliness of the church. Each group works one week a month (5th group volunteers once a quarter), cleaning twice that week. Substitute volunteers are also needed to help when necessary. All parishioners are invited to help with the annual deep cleaning of the church during the summer.

The purpose of the St. Anthony Maintenance Committee is to make sure that all of the facilities and maintenance items in the parish are being addressed or covered by someone, whether paid or volunteers. This includes: routine and preventive maintenance, upgrades, capital investments, and grounds-keeping. Members assign the responsibility to someone who the office management or other committee member can call if there is a problem. They are also responsible, along with the office management, to keep a preferred list of vendors used and reliable, in compliance with the Diocese of Toledo. The committee is an advisory board to the pastor on major projects and will get bids. The committee has the option to do the work themselves or make recommendations as to who can do the work.
The committee consists of around seven members through a process of appointment or volunteering. All are responsible to help out where they can, helping get issues tracked down and other responsibilities. Term limits are left to the discretion of the pastor.
