St Anthony's Capuchin Friary Church

St Anthony's Capuchin Friary Church is a Catholic church in Hawthorn dedicated to St Anthony of Padua, built in the 1960s with support from Melbourne's Italian community. Operated by the Capuchin Friars for over 50 years, it serves as a centre for prayer, devotion, and popular piety rather than as a parish church. The friary offers daily Mass, confessions, and is open throughout the day for private prayer and reflection.
