We Conventual Franciscan Friars work in the world’s poorest countries to bring hope and comfort to the despairing. We support around 150 projects every year, reaching some one million people with essential life-enhancing services including education, health, access to water and vocational training.
Messenger of Saint Anthony UK is a charity registered in England and Wales ( Registered Charity Number 1180228 ) founded by the Conventual Franciscan Friars of the Basilica of Saint Anthony in Padua, Italy. We exist to continue Saint Anthony’s legacy of love and compassion to all those who are suffering. Operating as a registered charity not only makes sound financial sense, it also opens up many more opportunities for our British friends to choose how they can support us and our important work in Saint Anthony’s name.
