The Catholic community at 49 South St., Litchfield, pays homage to the revered St. Anthony of Padua, a 13th-century Franciscan preacher and miracle worker. Born Fernando Martins in Lisbon in 1195, St. Anthony's remarkable life journey took him from the Canons Regular of St. Augustine to the Franciscan Order, earning him the distinction of being declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius XII in 1946. As the patron saint of the lost, travelers, and the poor, St. Anthony's intercession is sought by the faithful, particularly on his feast day, June 13. The community at 49 South St. invites all to seek St. Anthony's gentle aid in finding what is lost, deepening their love for the Gospel, and emulating his extraordinary virtues of humility, charity, and unwavering dedication to spreading the word of Christ. Through daily prayer, catechesis, and service to those in need, the spirit of St. Anthony lives on, inspiring Litchfield's believers to follow in his footsteps and embody the values of compassion, kindness, and devotion that define his enduring legacy.
