Spreading the Gospel and fulfilling our obligation of helping those less fortunate
The Saint of Miracles Among us
Thank you for attending the Liturgy in honor of Saint Anthony of Padua during our June visit to New York and New Jersey with our beloved Saint’s precious holy relics.
As I promised during my homily, Fr. Fabio and I carried every petition we received during those intense celebrations back to the Tomb of Saint Anthony in Padua, where we’ll pray for all your intentions with our other fellow friars.
If there is any other petition that is stirring in your heart, please entrust it to us, St Anthony’s Friars: this is our mission and the reason why we are at his Basilica, to serve as a link between Saint Anthony and his devotees.
(Fr. Mario Conte and Fr. Fabio Turrisendo)

‘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.
