Returning to Nalgonda in 2000, he served as rector of Our Lady of Fatima Shrine in Fathimapur from 2000 to 2006, followed by a role as rector of St. Francis Boarding School from 2006 to 2011. From 2011 to 2018, he held the position of procurator for the Diocese of Nalgonda.

In 2018, Fr. Antony joined the Diocese of Boise. He served as parochial vicar at St. George Catholic Church in Post Falls from 2019 to 2021 before being appointed administrator of St. Ann's in Bonners Ferry, where he continues to minister.
