St. Anthony Church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvanian, is home to the largest collection of publicly venerable Catholic relics – 5,000 in total – in the world outside of the Vatican. For more information on St. Anthony Chapel and how to make a pilgrimage there, visit their website at https://saintanthonyschapel.org/
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.

I Can Truly Rely On St. Anthony
I can truly rely on St. Anthony to help me find lost objects. It is so comforting. I had bought a birthday present for a dear friend, a small scarf that I knew she would love, and I put it away. The day before the party, I couldn’t find it. I looked everywhere that I thought I might have tucked a small scarf for safekeeping. My next step would have been to ransack all the drawers and shelves in my dressing room. Suddenly, a quiet voice in my head reminded me of St. Anthony. I became calm. I went to my bedroom and prayed for his help. It could not have been more than a minute later that I pictured myself hanging the scarf on a hanger to keep it smooth. Thank you, St. Anthony, for these small miracles.
