9-Day Novena · Feast: June 13

St. Anthony of Padua

Patron of Lost Things & the Poor

St. Anthony of Padua is one of the most popular saints in the Catholic Church — patron of lost things, the poor, and miracles. A Doctor of the Church and brilliant preacher, he is known for powerful and swift intercession.

About This Novena

Anthony is invoked for finding lost things — but also for finding lost faith, lost hope, and lost people. His novena is associated with the 'Thirteen Tuesdays' devotion and is known for remarkable answers.

OPENING PRAYER

O wonderful St. Anthony, glorious on account of the fame of your miracles, and through the condescension of Jesus in coming in the form of a little child to rest in your arms, obtain for me this favor I so much desire. Amen.
