St. Anthony visits Atlanta

For the first time, two Holy Relics of St. Anthony of Padua will visit the Archdiocese of Atlanta (Georgia) from Friday December 6 to Sunday 15, accompanied by Friars Mario Conte and Fabio Turrisendo, two Franciscan friars from the Pontifical Basilica of St. Anthony in Padua, Italy.

The two Relics include fragments of St. Anthony’s Facial Skin and his Floating Rib.

The Relic of the Floating Rib has special significance for the friars of Padua because it has been venerated by both Sister Lucia of Fatima and Pope Francis.

Two Holy Relics of St. Anthony of Padua will visit the Archdiocese of New York as well as the Dioceses of Brooklyn and Paterson from Saturday, June 8 to Sunday, June 16 2024, and will be accompanied by Fathers Alessandro Ratti and Mario Conte, two Franciscan friars from the Pontifical Basilica of St. Anthony in Padua, Italy.

The two Relics on tour are fragments of St. Anthony’s Facial Skin and his Floating Rib.

For the first time since the pandemic, the June 13 Anthonian Days are starting again in earnest.

This year Franciscan friar Father Bortolino Maistrello, from the Pontifical Basilica of Saint Anthony in Padua, Italy, will be bringing two, first class relics from our Saint’s Basilica. One Relic contains fragments of St. Anthony’s Facial Skin.

“The nativity scene reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas.” Pope Francis
Dear brothers and sisters, this year we are taking you all to Greccio, to remember the 800 years that have passed since Christmas 1223 when St. Francis set up his Nativity Scene to remember himself and the all world that God is very close to us, that he is real, alive and vibrant.
