St. Anthony of Padua, Patron Saint of Lost Articles and The Poor
Saint Anthony is a well-loved saint. He is the patron saint of lost and stolen things and objects. Catholics ask for his help daily in finding lost or stolen articles. St. Anthony of Padua’s life is what every Christian’s life is meant to be: a steady courage to face the ups and downs of life, the call to love and forgive, to be concerned for the needs of others, to deal with crises great and small, and to have our feet solidly on the ground of totally trusting love and dependence on God.
