St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church

About this church

St. Anthony of Padua is a Roman Catholic parish in Port Reading with a Saturday vigil Mass at 4 p.m. and Sunday Masses at 8:30 and 11:30 a.m. Daily Mass is normally celebrated at 7:30 in the chapel, shifting to 8:30 on civil holidays, and the Liturgy of the Hours is prayed shortly before weekday Mass. The present parish family was formed in 2012 through the merger of St. Anthony of Padua, founded in 1904, and Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Woodbridge, founded in 1920.

The parish describes itself as a diverse community formed to proclaim Jesus and Roman Catholic teaching. Liturgical participation includes choir, music ministry, lectors, and other service roles; the choir normally sings at the 11:30 Sunday Mass and rehearses on Tuesday evenings. Adult fellowship includes a relaxed men's faith gathering on alternating Saturdays, while additional ministries support prayer, service, and parish life. Catholics looking for a parish near Woodbridge or Port Reading will find a multi-Mass weekend, regular daily worship, historic roots in two communities, and several ways to serve. Holy days and civil holidays modify the weekday pattern, so consult the bulletin before a special-date visit.
