St. Anthony of Padua Church, 436 Port Reading Ave, Port Reading, NJ 07064, US

Known by everyone as "the Old White Church," the structure is a Woodbridge landmark, and the oldest church in the township (although Trinity Episcopal Church next door on Rahway Ave. is a worthy competitor.) Only two structures have stood on that triangle of land, bounded by Rahway and Port Reading Aves. at the terminus of Freeman Street. The original Meeting House was erected in 1675, and served church members as well as being the seat of Woodbridge's government. The "new" church was built in 1803, and it's still there, under a white brick facade and renovation done in 1972. A fantastic cemetery, rich in historic lore, is in back of the church. James Parker, a Revolutionary War patriot and the town's famous printer, is buried there. Both the church and cemetery were put on the National Register of Historic Place in 2007, due mainly to the efforts of the late Robert J. McEwen, a well known author of all things Woodbridge and the best authority on township history. The Old White Church has a vibrant church community that is very active and involved with the community. The Rev. Robert Boyar has served as pastor since 2005.
