Requiescat in pace
Rev. Fr. Francis M. Clifford
(3/20/1928 - 3/7/2009)

St. Anthony of Padua Church mourns the passing of Fr. Francis Clifford, who went to his eternal reward on Saturday, March 7, 2009. For a number of years, Fr. Clifford assisted in offering Masses and hearing confessions at St. Anthony's in West Orange, in Fairfield, and in our current home in North Caldwell.

Please see our April 2009 bulletin to read a memorial of Fr. Clifford.

Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine; et lux perpetua luceat ei

July 1, 2005 — Father Paul Wickens memorial bulletin available on the Downloads page.

June 18, 2005 — Listen to Father Paul Wickens, in his own voice, express his desire for his parish to be turned over to the Society of St. Pius X.

St. Anthony of Padua Mission is a Roman Catholic parish in northern New Jersey, celebrating exclusively the immemorial Traditional Latin Mass and the eternal, unchanging Sacraments of the Roman Catholic Church. We are devoted to the restoration of Church doctrine and tradition, and elimination of the heresies of modernism.

Our parish was founded by the late Father Paul Wickens, and now is one of the newest chapels of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), a worldwide Roman Catholic priestly organization that offers only the Traditional Latin Mass and Sacraments, according to the unchanging Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church. Click here to visit the SSPX home page.

We invite you to celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with us, and worship in the same manner as your grandparents: at the Traditional Roman Catholic Latin Mass — the Mass that the saints glorified and for which the martyrs gave their lives.
