about our Council 
Father Judge  Council is named after Fr. Thomas A. Judge who was the second Pastor at St. Anthony of Padua Church.  He was very well liked by all parishioners especially little children who anxiously awaited at mass on Sundays to see what he had in his "little brown bag"  to preach about!  He had a great sense of humor which helped him get through a long but heroic bout with stomach cancer to which he finally succumbed in the mid 1970s.   The Father Judge Council works closely with the St. Anthony's Parish in East Northport, NY.
