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 little village on the outskirts 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. Hence, he is known as ‘The Saint of Miracles’.
