The establishment of this church traces back to 1864 when a small chapel was established in Bonham Road, where King’s College currently stands, with St Anthony as its patron saint. The Catholic chapel was relocated to the technology workshop within St Louis School, later known as St Louis Industrial School. In the 1930s, it was decided that a new church would be built with the increasing population of the area. The construction began at the current site after the Second World War and was completed and officiated on the feast day of St Anthony, 13 June, in 1953.
St Anthony’s Church and the east wing of St Louis School down the road are both Grade II listed buildings.
