St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church - staten island - Staten Island (NY)

Michael Maynard The oldest Roman Catholic Church on Staten Island! I attended Mass here for the first time last Sunday. St. Peter’s is the mother parish of Staten island and is also the oldest Roman Catholic church in the borough. I found the building to be very inspiring. Newer churches are not built like this anymore and the building is truly a sight to behold. Even if it may need some minor renovations and upkeep. The church appears to be in need of parishioners. Attendance was sparse and sincerely I hope more Catholics re-discover this parish. There is only one Mass every Sunday at noon with confessions available before Mass starting at 11AM. The Mass was done with reverence by Fr. Jerome, and the music and organ was also very nice. The indoor acoustics and sound system are a bit echoy and the liturgy was a bit hard to hear I think because of all the fans running. I’m sure it’s easier to hear in the cooler months without the fans. Overall, I was very moved and impressed with this church and I dont often see churches that are 124 years old. I hope more people start coming here and this is the most beautiful church on Staten Island in my humble opinion.

Michele Furman Absolutely beautiful church. I was visiting relatives on Easter and went to my sister-in-laws parish, St. Ritas with her. Everyone was so friendly. The statues are gorgeous, and the relics in the displays are amazing. If you have never been to this parish, you should visit.

Bob L Celebrated my nieces wedding, which was amazing, she was beautiful. It was a wonderful travel back in time to my youth since this was my familys church.

Linda Tortora Beautiful Church And close to home

Andrew Turelli I went to school here. My personal favorite school. I wonder if it would be alright if I stopped by church for mass sometime soon?

Christina Espada Im a Para there and everyone has been amazing

Aisha Arcangel Its been my home parish since I was 13. The staff is lovely, and the pastors here are so nice and welcoming. Cant see myself going to another church in my lifetime for as long as I live on Staten Island.

Christine Boyer Enjoy singing there.

Samuel Daetwyler Very welcoming Church

Hope Cucuzza Father James is such a gift to our parish. He is very professional. The church is clean and polished from top to bottom. Father James puts thought into the presentation of each mass. I love OLHC because it is God-centered and filled with loving and caring families which makes this a welcoming, cozy and comfortable church. Father James offers his absolute best with the overall presentation of each mass. His mass homily is always, well planned and thought out, sincere, and glorifying to Our Lord God. May the Father, Son and Holy Ghost continue to shine brightly upon and through each member of our parish. God Bless Father James and Our Lady Help of Christians. Hope Cucuzza
