The Feast of St. Anthony is observed every year on June 13 to honour the life and
work of St. Anthony of Padua, who accomplished many things during his short
time in this world as a priest. He was revered by his contemporaries and noted
for his powerful preaching, vast knowledge of scripture, and undying love and
devotion to the poor and the sick. They made him one of the most quickly
canonized saints in church history. His fame spread through Portuguese
evangelization and he became the patron saint of Lisbon, Padua, and many other
places in Portugal. St. Anthony is invoked and respected around the world as
the patron saint for the recovery of lost items. He is credited with several
miracles involving lost people, things, and even spiritual goods.
