On November 2nd at 6.00 pm CET the Franciscan Friars of the Basilica of St. Anthony, in Padua - Italy, will offer a Mass of suffrage for our departed loved ones: write a prayer and light a virtual candle in their memory, and at the end of the Holy Mass they will personally place them at the Tomb of St. Anthony. To follow the live broadcast of the Holy Mass, connect to their Facebook page at 6.00 pm (CET), it will be like being with St. Anthony’s Franciscan Friars in the Basilica.
