Spreading the Gospel and fulfilling our obligation of helping those less fortunate
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33).
St Anthony’s Friars continue to pray for you as we continue our journey after Easter.
We pray that each day, even if only for a few moments, you’ll fix your eyes on Jesus.
Allow His peace to fill the quietness.

‘The Saint of Miracles’
Our beloved Saint died on June 13th 1231 in a small monastery in Arcella, a hamlet of the city of Padua.
Anthony’s remains were then carried in a funeral procession to the friars’ church in Padua. Since that day, many favors have been granted to all who called on the Saint for his intercession.
During his lifetime St. Anthony was renowned for acts which could not be explained by the laws of nature. Click below, to watch video meditations on 13 Miracles of Saint Anthony as told by Fr. Mario Conte.
