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.

World Day of Prayer for the Sick 2024
On February 11th. The Franciscan Friars of the Basilica of Saint Anthony in Padua, Italy will be celebrating World Day of Prayer for the Sick: a time when they particularly pray for all those who are sick and homebound, for their caregivers and health-care professionals. If you or a loved one is sick or suffering please let them help you, let them intercede with Saint Anthony on your behalf by including you and your loved ones in their prayers at a special Mass in Saint Anthony’s Basilica on February 11th, 2024. All are invited to light a virtual candle and write a prayer to Saint Anthony, entrusting to him the people you love most and invoking on them the grace of healing.
