St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church is a historic church at 457 Monmouth Street in The Village Section of Jersey City, Hudson County, New Jersey, United States.

History

Prior to church's construction, Polish parishioners in Jersey City had to take a ferry across to Newark to attend St. Stanislaus Church.[3] The church was built in 1892 to serve what is now the oldest Polish-speaking parish in New Jersey. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
