Spreading the Gospel and fulfilling our obligation of helping those less fortunate

“During Lent, leave appearances aside and listen to God” Pope Francis (Rome, 2024)

 

Lent is a time for all of us to examine our hearts, responding in humility and repentance as we consider the magnitude of Christ’s sacrifice for us. This time of solemn reflection prepares us to celebrate His resurrection on Easter Sunday. Chick to find a special collection of classic prayers addressed to Saint Anthony.

‘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.
