Donald Stanley Kalinowski was born in Chicago on May 21, 1935, being the only child of Stanley John Kalinowski and Agnes Mae Walkowski. His education before entering the Order took place in Chicago, Illinois, first in the Chicago public grammar schools and St. Hyacinth Grammar School, then at Lane Technical High School, and finally at Wright Junior College.

He entered the novitiate for cooperator brothers on December 25, 1957, at St. Thomas Aquinas Priory, River Forest, Illinois, and was given the religious name of Anthony. There he made his profession of vows on February 16, 1959 and received his first formal assignment to St. Pius V Priory, Chicago, Illinois, where he worked on priory maintenance and served as sacristan for the parish. In 1966 he was transferred to St. Rose of Lima Priory, Dubuque, IA, where he served for a year as Assistant Director of Cooperator Brother Postulants and Novices before returning to St. Pius V Priory where he again served as sacristan for the parish and began his involvement in religious education programs which were to be the focus of his ministry for the rest of his life. Returning to college in 1970, first at Mundelein College and then Loyola University, both in Chicago, he obtained his B.A. degree in religious studies and continued on for a M.R.E. degree in religious education.

While pursuing his graduate studies he began to work for the Office for Religious Education of the Archdiocese of Chicago and continued as a member of its staff until 1986. During this time he served in a number of capacities for the Office for Religious Education - as supervisor of the Child Division, as a consultant for adult education, as co-administrator of the RENEW program, and as a member of the Catechumenate Advisory Board. For a brief period of time he served as coordinator of religious education for St. Pius V Parish (1976- 79) at the same time as he worked for the Archdiocese.

In 1986 he was sent to St. Dominic Parish, Denver, Colorado, to become director of religious education for the parish, a ministry he continued until 1992. At the same time he served as a consultant for religious education for the Archdiocese of Denver. Taking advantage of a sabbatical year, he spent a semester at the Siena Spirituality Center, Water Mill, New York, and another at Aquinas Institute of Theology, St. Louis, Missouri. Returning to Denver after his sabbatical Brother Anthony took up a new ministry at Notre Dame Parish, where he served as director of religious education.

During the years Brother Anthony served the Province in many capacities - as a member of the Personnel Board (1971-74), as a member of the Commission on Continuing Education (1977-81), as a member of the Board of the Shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus (1986- 88) and as a member of the Provincial Council (1985-90). He served his Dominican brothers in local communities as business manager, was the first cooperator brother in the history of the Province to serve as subprior of a community (St. Dominic Priory, Denver). and served a term as conventual lector for the Dominican community in Denver. He was active in the National Assembly of Religious Brothers and served as a member of its Executive Board (1986-89)

In January 1997, it was discovered that Brother Anthony had several brain tumors and surgery confirmed that they were malignant. The advanced stage of the tumors determined that aggressive treatment would serve no purpose and so, when he had recovered sufficiently from surgery, he was transferred to St. John's Hospice, Denver, Colorado, where he began his preparations to meet the Lord whom he had served as a religious for nearly forty years. His condition gradually declined and on the evening of March 22, 1997, he died peacefully. The funeral liturgy was celebrated at St. Dominic Church, Denver, on March 26, 1997, and burial was in the Dominican Plot in Mt. Olivet Cemetery, Denver, Colorado.
