About St. Anthony of Padua
St. Anthony of Padua was a Portuguese Catholic priest and friar of The Franciscan order who lived from 1195 To 1231. He was born in Lisbon and baptised as Fernando Martins De Bulhões. He joined the Augustinian order at the age of 15 and studied theology and latin in Coimbra. He was inspired by the Martyrdom of five Franciscan missionaries in Morocco and decided to join their order and go to preach in Africa. However, he became ill and had to return to Europe, where he settled in Padua, Italy. He became famous for his powerful preaching, his knowledge of scripture, his miracles, and his love for the poor and the sick. He is the patron saint of lost and stolen articles, as well as many other causes and places. He was canonised less than a year after his death by Pope Gregory IX and declared a doctor of the Church by Pope Pius XII In 1946.
