Prayer Intentions to Saint Anthony - June 20th 2024

I write to you from Padua, still with the emotion of having had the privilege of being your emissary to Saint Anthony.
I made the offering on the morning of June 20th, very early, because it is stiflingly hot here in Padua. I am so happy to come again this year as a pilgrim within the octave of the feast of our great Saint Anthony, in your name, to present your supplications. This time I was accompanied by my good Italian friend, Federico Catani, who come from Rome, by train, to give me a hand.
As on previous occasions, after the 7:30 a.m. Mass, celebrated at the main altar of the basilica, we went to the chapel of blessings with your prayers and expressions of gratitude. There, the Franciscan friar who imparts the “blessing of Saint Anthony”, an exclusive privilege of the basilica of Padua, blessed them and prayed with us. He also wanted to stop and read some of the intentions. He then exclaimed: “How can Saint Anthony not respond to prayers made with so much faith!”

Afterwards, we went to the tomb to pray the responsory of Saint Anthony in your name and to place your supplications next to the countless votive offerings that surround it.
We remained in prayer before the tomb of Saint Anthony for a long time. Throughout the day, we returned several times to greet Saint Anthony and thank him again and again for all his protection and help.
Finally, as a finishing touch to this novena, we have commissioned a Mass in the Saint's own basilica, for all of you. I hope that one day you can come in person and see with your own eyes the faith and devotion of the many devotees who pay tribute and gratitude to him every day by visiting and kissing his tomb.
May Saint Anthony bless and protect you always.
Affectionately in Jesus and Mary,
Felipe Barandiaran

Help bring Our Lady’s message back to Canada

Every day, more Canadians are drifting away from faith, peace, and truth. Families are struggling. Communities are losing their spiritual foundation.

But there is hope.

Through devotion to Our Lady and the power of the rosary, hearts can be renewed, families restored, and our nation brought back to God. Canada Needs Our Lady's mission is to answer that call.

Many Canadians have lost connection to their spiritual heritage. In a time of confusion and isolation, Our Lady remains a beacon of hope—calling us back to prayer, faith, and truth.

Through public rosary rallies, national campaigns, and the distribution of blessed devotional items, we are working to bring that message to every corner of Canada.

And with the support of generous donors, this mission is already making a measurable impact across Canada.

  • Over 1,200,000 homes reached through mail campaigns
  • More than 7,000 public square rosary rallies held since 2013
  • 10,000+ rosaries, scapulars, and medals distributed annually
  • More than 1,000 Fatima home visits
  • Thousands of supporters engaged nationwide in prayer and reparation
  • National reach — including rural and remote areas where spiritual outreach is rare
