Prayers to powerful preacher: St. Anthony’s relics visit parishes in diocese
Pictured are scenes from a visit of two precious and first-class relics of St. Anthony of Padua from the Pontifical Basilica in Padua in St. Bonaventure Church in Paterson on June 11.
The relics, fragments of St. Anthony’s facial skin and his floating rib, first visited the Paterson Diocese at St. Anthony of Padua Church in Butler on June 8. It was the first stop on their journey to nine parishes in New Jersey and the surrounding area.
