The Feast of Saint Anthony, the Saint the world loves, has finally arrived!
During the months of April and May the Relics of Saint Anthony travelled to the Philippines where they brought joy and hope to thousands of people.
In accompanying the relics during this pilgrimage I had the great joy and privilege of meeting Cardinal Louis Antonio Tagle, Archbishop of Manila, who gave us the testimony of his deep devotion to Saint Anthony in this video message.
Fr. Mario Conte, editor of the Messenger of Saint Anthony, is pleased to invite all the St. Anthony's devotees around the world to join the friars of the Basilica of St. Anthony in Padua, Italy, to prepare ourselves for the feast of our beloved Saint.
After the astounding success of last year visits of Saint Anthony's Relics we are now pleased to announce that fr. Paolo Floretta, fr. Bortolino Maistrello, fr. Alessandro Ratti and fr. Mario Conte will visit New York ( U.S.A.), Toronto (Canada), Adelaide (South Australia), Ireland and United Kingdom in June on the occasion of Saint Anthony's Feast Day, bringing each a precious relic from Saint Anthony's Basilica in Padua, Italy.
