History and Architecture:
The first Catholic Mass was celebrated in Noble Park in 1918 by Fr Francis Merner from St Mary's. By 1919 a block of land in Joy Parade, Noble Park was purchased (where the existing Uniting Church now stands).
In 1961 St Anthony's Church number three was constructed. Archbishop Justin Simonds blessed and opened the new Church.
On November 13, 1977 Archbishop Little blessed the current Church (St Anthony's Church number 4) the first building that has been constructed solely as a Church, a place of prayer and gathering of God's people in Noble Park.
