OUR STORY
Parish History
The first soil of Saint Anthony’s school site was turned in April 1939. Three weeks later the foundation stone of the school was laid by the then Bishop of Northampton Lawrence Youens. On Sunday 20th July 1940 the new mission of Saint Anthony’s was opened by Father Houghton and Mass was celebrated in the school hall with an attendance of 91 people. On the 2nd September 1940 Saint Anthony’s school opened its doors to the first set of children. The school hall was used not only for Sunday Mass, but also for daily Mass and other services.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
From Our Visitors
It is a beautiful church located near the borders of Slough and Farnham Royal. The patron saint is St. Antony of Padua. You have buses from Slough Station every 30 mins. Nice place to worship.
Nancy F.
The church has a new priest and I went on a Sunday. The covid rules are still being followed and I am told that on Sunday coming (first week in September) there will be coffee and tea served in the cript after the long covid restrictions have been lifted. Love this church and all it has to offer. The parking is great too.
