St. Anthony of Padua Church, Renaissance Revival Catholic church in South Village, Manhattan, United States
St. Anthony of Padua Church features a stone facade with classical architectural elements, including symmetrical columns and rounded arches along Sullivan Street.
The parish started in 1859 as the first Catholic church in the United States created specifically for Italian immigrants, with formal establishment in 1866.
The church maintains strong connections to Italian heritage through religious celebrations, traditional ceremonies, and community gatherings throughout the year.
The church holds regular Mass services, offers sacramental preparation programs, and provides religious education classes for children and adults.
