The St. Anthony's Church is the name given to a religious building belonging to the Catholic Church and is located at 26 Middle Road in the town of Warwick in the south of the main island of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda in the North Atlantic Ocean.
It is a temple that follows the Roman or Latin rite and is dependent on the Diocese of Hamilton in Bermuda (Dioecesis Hamiltonensis in Bermuda). It was blessed and inaugurated between 1957 and 1958.
Its name derives from the devotion of the Portuguese community in Bermuda to St. Anthony of Lisbon (Santo António de Lisboa), better known as St. Anthony of Padua, a priest of the Franciscan Order, preacher and Portuguese theologian, venerated as a saint by the Church in Catholic Christianity.
