Father Marcos urgently needs your help to build a safe haven for the poor and hungry in Guarambaré, Paraguay. The Center will be called the Marcelino Pan y Vino Center and it will be a place of refuge, a clinic, a school, and a training center.
It will offer nourishment for the mind, body and soul: it will feed the hungry, give help and guidance to the lost, and provide hope to the young. It will be an oasis and a lifeline for so many people who have nothing.
By giving a generous donation to this Saint Anthony’s Feast Day Appeal you can help Father Marcos to realize his dream of helping every poor and hungry person who comes to his door.

As Franciscans we are pledged to follow in St. Anthony’s holy footsteps.
Our beloved Saint faithfully dedicated himself to bringing God’s message of hope and love to those hardest to reach, the poorest of the poor, the most rejected, and the most downtrodden.
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.
