St. Anthony: the Patron of Lost Items!

Today, June 13th, is the feast day of our master's favourite saint: Saint Anthony of Padua. Actually many people love this saint.

Saint Anthony loved to teach the people about God and he spoke about Him in simple language so that people could understand. Unfortunately lots of people did not want to hear what he had to say. So one day in frustration he decided to talk to the fish instead!

People often ask St. Anthony for help when they have lost something.

I think Cloë that this is the reason why our master really likes this saint, because she seems to always be losing something.

I think you might be right Tallulah.

Lacy over at Catholic Icing has some great ideas for celebrating this feast day, and you will be happy to hear Tallulah that some of it incluedes food! Click here.

Something else you might want to do today is visit the National Shrine of St. Anthony and Friary in Cincinnati.

Isn't Cincinnati kind of far away Cloë?!

It is Tallulah but they have a neat website that makes you feel like you are really there. Click here.


And finally here is a picture of us from our recent road trip! We are in front of a statute of St. Anthony and St. Anthony's Parish in Apple Hill.


Hey Cloë maybe people could drive out there to see the statute it is certainly closer than Cincinnati! and there was a neat playground not far from the church.

Good idea Tallulah!

Well that's it for today - Woof!
