Loving Christ, Loving Others
THE PARISH FAMILY OF SAINT ANTHONY OF PADUA
MISSION STATEMENT
The Parish Family of Saint Anthony of Padua is a diverse Community of Faith formed in July 2012 by the merging of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, Woodbridge (est. 1920) with Saint Anthony of Padua Church, Port Reading (est. 1904).
We proclaim the "Good News" of Jesus Christ and the beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church.
We are committed to maintaining worship as a powerful experience of the presence of God through Word, Sacrament, Music and Community. We have a passion for Social Justice and our duties toward all people.
We enrich the Faith of those in need through a variety of ministries. All are Welcome.
We strive to be a beacon of Faith, Hope and Love while honoring God's Presence in every person.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
On April 21, 2025, Easter Monday, our Loving God called His Servant, our Holy Father, Pope Francis home to his eternal reward.
It is a pious and venerable duty for every Catholic to unite with their parish family in offering a Mass for the eternal repose of the pope.
Please join us on Wednesday April 30, 2025 at 7pm for a Memorial Mass for the soul of Pope Francis.
“O God, who in your wondrous providence chose your servant Pope Francis
to preside over your Church, grant, we pray, that, having served as the Vicar of your son on earth,
he may be welcomed by him into eternal glory. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the holy spirit, one God,
for ever and ever.”
