SAINT ANTHONY IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA

Two holy relics of St. Anthony of Padua will visit the Diocese of Charlotte, NC, from Friday, December 5 to Sunday, December 14. The two first-class relics will be accompanied by Fathers Mario Conte and Fabio Turrisendo, two Franciscan friars from the Pontifical Basilica of St. Anthony in Padua, Italy.  The two relics are fragments of St. Anthony’s Skin and his Floating Rib; the latter relic has special significance because it was venerated by Lucy of Fatima in her convent in Coimbra in 1995, and by then-Archbishop Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Pope Francis) in the Cathedral of Buenos Aires in 2000.
