St. Anthony of Padua relic touring archdiocese of Northern California from Oct. 26-Nov. 2, 2014
From Oct. 26-Nov. 2, St. Anthony will visit Northern California in the form of the very relic that Pope Francis venerated 14 years ago in Argentina. The much loved 13th-century friar was a contemporary of St. Francis and one of the earliest members of the Franciscan order founded by St. Francis in 1209. When, in 2000, Pope Francis was Archbishop Jorge Bergoglio of Buenos Aires, he blessed the faithful gathered in the city’s cathedral with a reliquary containing St. Anthony’s floating rib. This relic will be accompanied by Father Mario Conte, a Franciscan friar from Padua, Italy, where the saint is buried. “There is nothing superstitious about relics,” Father Mario said in a Sept. 9 press release. “The real meaning of a relic is love – they are a link of love between the person who venerates and the saint.” Here is the relic tour schedule in the archdiocese:
Sunday, Oct. 26, St. Thomas More Church, San Francisco 8 a.m., 10 a.m., 11:45 a.m., 8 p.m. Masses with veneration
Monday, Oct. 27, St. Paul’s Church, San Pablo 7:30 a.m. Mass, veneration all day, 7:00 p.m. mass
Oct. 28, St. Mary’s Cathedral, San Francisco, 12:10 p.m. and 6 p.m. Masses with veneration.
Oct. 29, St. Dominic Church, San Francisco, 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Masses with veneration.

Oct. 31, National Shrine of St. Francis of Assisi, San Francisco, 12:15 p.m. and 7 p.m. Masses with veneration.
