St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church
St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church is a historic Catholic church in The Village section of Jersey City. It is best known for its former school and its boys' basketball program coached by Bob Hurley, Sr.

History 
Prior to church's construction, Polish parishioners in Jersey City had to take a ferry across to New York City to attend St. Stanislaus Church. 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. For much of its modern history it has been known for its former school, St. Anthony High School, and its historic basketball program coached by Bob Hurley, Sr.
