Feast day of St. Anthony of Padua

As every year, the feast-day of St. Anthony of Padua, the patron saint and special protector of the Custody of the Holy Land since the beginning of the 20° century, falls on 13th June.



We invite everyone who has always supported the Holy Places and the friars in their mission of looking after them, to join in prayer on this day of commemoration.



You are also reminded that the Eucharistic Celebration will take place in the convent of St. Saviour at 10.30 a.m. followed by refreshments in the hall of the new Curia.



The Holy Mass will be presided by the Father Custos, Pierbattista Pizzaballa, who in the afternoon will go to Jaffa to celebrate 6.00 p.m. mass with the local community.
