‘Let your words teach and your actions speak.’
St. Anthony of Padua
We Conventual Franciscan Friars work in the world’s poorest countries to bring hope and comfort to the despairing. We support around 150 projects every year, reaching some one million people with essential life-enhancing services including education, health, access to water and vocational training. We build schools, hospitals, clinics and community centres and bring hope and love to even the darkest and most forgotten corners of the earth.
Messenger of Saint Anthony UK is a charity registered in England and Wales (Registered Charity Number 1180228) founded by the Conventual Franciscan Friars of the Basilica of Saint Anthony in Padua, Italy. We exist to continue Saint Anthony’s legacy of love and compassion to all those who are suffering.
As a charity, we depend on the kindness of people to support us with donations so we can continue our vital missionary work around the world.
