He is one of the great saints of the Catholic Church, and one of the beloved--even far beyond Catholics themselves. Untold numbers of people turn to him, still, when there is loss. And strangely--at least strangely in the usual ways of the world--those things often quickly turn up. And often they turn up in the most unexpected--even seemingly miraculous ways. Let the stories begin.

A Christmas Tale From The Basilica Of Saint Anthony
On the occasion of Christmas, Saint Anthony’s Franciscan Friars send a little gift: Fr. Mario's Christmas video “Empty Handed - A Christmas Tale from the Basilica of Saint Anthony.” They also invite you to light a virtual Candle and write your Prayer to Saint Anthony, entrusting to him the people you love most. Remembering them in prayer is the greatest gift you can give them~

This Is Nothing Short Of A Miracle
Dear Saint Anthony, I spent many days looking for my sons expensive watch and when I had given up hope of finding it I decided to pray to you. I prayed for guidance to find this watch. When the handyman came the following morning I told him about this. He asked me if I looked properly, I said yes. But something made him pull the drawer out, and the watch was there, fallen from the drawer to a tiny space outside the drawer. This is nothing short of a miracle. Dear St. Anthony, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful favor. I will be ever grateful to thee.
Thank you P.S. for your amazing story of St. Anthony’s help in finding your son’s watch. If you have a story of St. Anthony’s assistance in your life, email it to us and we will post it on the blog~
